| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on radiocarbon dating, isotopic analysis, and agricultural origins research. It covers topics such as the development of radiocarbon calibration curves, domestication and early agriculture, nitrogen isotopes in archaeology, and the impact of climate change on agricultural practices. The papers also delve into the use of stable isotopes for reconstructing ancient diets, tracking human and animal mobility, and understanding the origins of plant cultivation. |
