Life and death in the medieval mining centre of Kutná Hora - reconstructing diets during the recurrent mortality crises of the 14th century AD (Czechia)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

During the 14th century, the inhabitants of Kutná Hora (Kingdom of Bohemia) were exposed to recurrent mortality crises. Using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, this study investigates the relationship between diet and the famine of 1318 and the plague outbreaks after 1346. Total of 112 bone samples were collected. Individuals from famine graves showed lower δ15N values than those from regular graves. The population sample studied had a diet based on C3 plants, with a significant contribution from animal products and/or fish. Lower δ15N values in famine victims suggested that lower intake of animal products increased the likelihood of starvation. Plague mortality does not appear to be related to dietary patterns.
