Stable isotope analysis. (A) δ13C and δ15N stable isotope data obtained on human and mammalian bone collagen from Vlakno (squares) compared with data from Mesolithic human and faunal remains (circles) throughout Croatia (data from)16,27; (B) δ13C and δ15N stable isotope data obtained on human bone collagen from Vlakno (square) compared with data from 66 Mesolithic and/or Mesolithic-Neolithic humans (circles) from Corsica (green), Croatia (red), Sicily (blue) and Spain (orange) (after)10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,25,26,27,61,76. Note that the plotted data represents samples that were securely assigned to the Mesolithic, which also had a C:N atomic ratio between 2.9–3.677.
