APORTES AL ESTUDIO PALEODIETARIO MEDIANTE EL ANáLISIS DE ISóTOPOS ESTABLES DE δ13C Y δ15N EN RESTOS óSEOS HUMANOS DE LA REGIóN CENTRO-ORIENTAL DEL CAUCA MEDIO

when diet is considered as eating habits, it is a fundamental biocultural component in all societies, in particular in the pre-columbian. undertaking the reconstruction of diet can be performed by combining archaeological and bioarchaeological data to identify the use and consumption of different types of food and the relationships with other cultural (v. g., hierarchy) and demographic variables (v. g., age and sex). the aim of this study is to reconstruct the diet of eight pre-hispanic individuals from archaeological sites located in the central-eastern zone of the middle cauca region, during the ix and xiv centuries a. d., through to the stable isotope ratio analysis of c and n (δ13c and δ15n). the results obtained show the importance of food resources available in the region as well as differences and similarities in the use and consumption of food types among the sites.
