Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore regional and temporal patterning in diet in medieval Danish populations. δ 15N, δ 13C coll, δ 13C ap values were obtained from 154 human bone samples from three sites located in the Jutland peninsula of Denmark. These sites span the medieval period. The results suggest that the medieval Danish diet was composed of C 3 plants, terrestrial animals, and freshwater and marine fish in varying amounts. The data also suggest some regional patterning in diet, but little temporal differences in the composition of diet.
