The first results of diet reconstruction of individuals buried at the All Saints Charnel House in Kutná Hora – Sedlec
Original language description
The paper presents the first results of isotopic analysis focused on the diet of individuals buried in the cemetery near the All Saints Charnel House in Kutná Hora – Sedlec (13th–14th century). Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopic values were measured in the bone tissue of a total of 24 individuals buried in individual graves. The analysed set was supplemented with 11 animal bone samples and the skeletal material of 20 individuals buried during the 14th century in the cemetery of Oškobrh was used as a comparison set representing the rural population. The mean values of the Kutná Hora assemblage were -19.3 ± 0.2 for δ13C and 12.2 ± 0.5 for δ15N. For the Oškobrh sample, they were -19.4 ± 0.1 for δ13C and 11.4 ± 1.2 for δ15N. The diet of both populations was based on C3-plants, with a significant proportion of animal products or fish. In the case of Kutná Hora, however, this proportion was significantly higher, especially for females. The results of both datasets illustrate the change in the Czech lands during the Middle Ages in terms of the abandonment of millet cultivation. Comparison with the values of other datasets covering the early medieval up to early modern Central Europe indicates a high-quality diet with sufficient animal protein. © 2023 Czech Academy of Sciences.
