Here we present the first isotopic investigation of a Vandalic period site (ca. 5th–6th centuries AD), the Theodosian Wall cemetery at Carthage, in modern day Tunis, Tunisia. The focus of this research is to determine the general diet and food consumption patterns of this population during this important and pivotal period of antiquity in North Africa. To this end, collagen stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N) are reported for a variety of fauna (n = 20) and humans (n = 70). The human mean±SD results (δ13C = −19.3 ± 0.4‰; δ15N = 10.7 ± 1.4‰) reflect a diet that was based predominantly on C3 terrestrial plants with varying amounts of animal protein from domestic animals such as sheep/goats, cows, and pigs. No statistically significant isotopic differences between males and females, developmental age, or time period of burial were found. The isotopic results from the Theodosian Wall cemetery at Carthage are compared to eight previously published Roman and Early Byzantine sites from the Mediterranean region (Carrer Ample 1, Joan Planells, S'Hort des Llimoners (Spain); Isola Sacra, Velia, Herculaneum (Italy); Ephesus (Turkey); and Leptiminus (Tunisia)). The lack of significant amounts of marine foods in the diets of the Vandal era population at Carthage is in stark contrast to the Roman inhabitants of Leptiminus, where significant consumption of marine-derived dietary resources was found. As Leptiminus is ~180 km southeast of Carthage, the work presented here shows that large dietary differences existed in North African populations during antiquity.

破坏者时期(约公元 5 至 6 世纪)饮食的同位素重建 突尼斯迦太基的狄奥多西墙墓地

在这里,我们展示了对汪达尔时期遗址(约公元 5 至 6 世纪)的第一次同位素调查,即位于现代突尼斯突尼斯的迦太基狄奥多西墙墓地。这项研究的重点是确定北非这个重要且关键的古代时期该人群的一般饮食和食物消费模式。为此,报告了各种动物群 ( n = 20) 和人类 ( n = 70) 的胶原稳定同位素比率 (δ 13 C、δ 15 N )。人类平均值±SD 结果(δ 13 C = -19.3 ± 0.4‰;δ 15 N = 10.7 ± 1.4‰)反映了主要基于 C 3的饮食陆生植物,含有来自家畜(如绵羊/山羊、奶牛和猪)的不同数量的动物蛋白。未发现男性和女性、发育年龄或埋葬时间段之间存在统计学上显着的同位素差异。将迦太基狄奥多西长城墓地的同位素结果与之前出版的八个地中海地区罗马和早期拜占庭遗址(Carrer Ample 1、Joan Planells、S'Hort des Llimoners(西班牙);Isola Sacra、Velia、Herculaneum(意大利)进行比较);以弗所(土耳其);和 Leptiminus(突尼斯))。迦太基汪达尔时代人口的饮食中缺乏大量的海洋食物,这与 Leptiminus 的罗马居民形成鲜明对比,在那里发现大量消耗海洋来源的饮食资源。
