Abstract
Critical Review of Brown and Thomas "The First New Zealanders? An Alternative Interpretation of the Stable Isotope Data from Wairau Bar".
Highlights
We confirm that this does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. This formal comment has been written in response to Brown and Thomas’s article in the current issue of PLoS ONE entitled “The first New Zealanders? An alternative interpretation of the stable isotope data from Wairau Bar”
Brown and Thomas attempt to reanalyse and re-interpret the stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) and radiogenic isotope (87Sr/86Sr) data originally presented in Kinaston et al [1] “The first New Zealanders: patterns of diet and mobility revealed through isotope analysis.”
Having made the point that Brown and Thomas are asking different questions of the isotope data we consider their interpretation of those data that demonstrate their lack of understanding of stable isotope analysis and the results presented in Kinaston et al
