The Chalcolithic necropolis of Los Millares: Radiocarbon dating and an assessment of the diet and the environment from stable isotope analysis

Abstract

Se presentan en este estudio los resultados de los análi­sis isotópicos realizados sobre una muestra de restos huma­nos de la necrópolis calcolítica de Los Millares. Para proce­der a su discusión se ha realizado previamente su contextualización cronológica a partir de una serie de data­ciones radiocarbónicas y la revisión de la cronología relati­va de los sepulcros. Las dataciones muestran el uso de la necrópolis megalítica durante todo el periodo de ocupación de Los Millares, al menos desde 3100/3000 hasta 2200/2100 cal AC. Los resultados del análisis isotópico apoyan las pro­puestas sobre un incremento en la aridez desde el 2400/2300 cal AC. Además, en una dieta dominada por los recursos terrestres en la que las proteínas suelen proceder del consu­mo de herbívoros, existe una cierta variabilidad con indivi­duos que pueden haber consumido otros recursos.

The results of the isotopic analyses performed on human remains from the Chalcolithic necropolis of Los Millares are presented in this paper. These are contextualized chronologically by a series of radiocarbon dates and, a review of the graves’ relative chronology. The dates show the megalithic necropolis was in use all along the occupation period of Los Millares, at least from 3100/3000 to 2200/2100 cal BC. The isotopic analysis results support the proposals for increasing aridity from 2400/2300 cal BC onwards. Diet is mainly based on land resources, proteins being usually taken from herbi­vores. However, a certain variability is found among sampled individuals because some of them may have consumed others products.
