The origin of the Hyksos dynasty (c. 1638–1530 BCE) is thought to be rooted in the Near East given the architectural features and burial customs present at the site of Tell el-Dabca, identified as the capital of Hyksos rule in the Eastern Delta of Egypt. We expand previous 87Sr/86Sr research on the site’s cemetery assemblage using a multi-isotopic methodology: oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13Ccarb) stable isotopes from the carbonate portion of tooth enamel (n = 75), along with collagen (δ13Ccoll, δ15N) analysis of dentine and bone (n = 31). Pairing δ18O with previous 87Sr/86Sr data identifies 60% of the cohort as non-locals (45/75). Although there were a greater proportion of non-local females (24/30, 80%) compared to males (10/20, 50%), there were no significant differences between the sexes in δ13Ccarb or δ18Ocarb values. There were no spatial patterns regarding the three cemetery sites, nor any observable patterns regarding where non-locals were interred in the largest excavated cemetery, Area A/II. Both first-generation immigrants and individuals from the northeastern Nile Delta were buried following elite Asiatic burial customs, suggesting continuation of foreign burial culture. All collagen showed poor preservation; δ13Ccoll and δ15N analysis were not possible. δ13Ccarb showed no significant difference between locals and non-local diet, although non-locals at Tell el-Dabca did eat a broader variety of foods as a group, suggested by a wider δ13Ccarb range (− 13.5 to − 9.6‰ in non-locals compared to locals’ − 12.1 to − 10.3‰). If there is a difference in food culture between immigrants and native Egyptians, it was not observable using isotopic analyses.

尼罗河三角洲东北部饮食和流动性的多同位素研究

希克索斯王朝(约公元前1638年至1530年)的起源被认为是植根于近东给出的建筑特色和葬俗出现在泰尔EL嘎嘎的网站Ç一,确定为希克索斯统治的首都埃及东部三角洲。我们使用多同位素方法扩展了先前对该遗址墓地组合的87 Sr/ 86 Sr 研究:来自牙釉质碳酸盐部分的氧 (δ 18 O) 和碳 (δ 13 C carb ) 稳定同位素 ( n = 75),以及牙本质和骨骼的胶原蛋白 (δ 13 C coll , δ 15 N) 分析 ( n = 31)。配对δ18 O 与之前的87 Sr/ 86 Sr 数据确定 60% 的队列为非本地人 (45/75)。尽管与男性(10/20,50%)相比,非本地女性(24/30,80%)的比例更大,但在δ 13 C carb或δ 18 O carb方面,性别之间没有显着差异值。没有关于三个墓地的空间模式,也没有关于在最大的挖掘墓地 A/II 区埋葬非本地人的位置的任何可观察模式。尼罗河三角洲东北部的第一代移民和个人都按照亚洲精英的葬礼习俗进行了安葬,表明外国葬礼文化的延续。所有胶原蛋白都显示出较差的保存;δ 13 C coll和δ 15 N 分析是不可能的。δ 13 C碳水化合物在本地人和非本地饮食之间没有显着差异,尽管 Tell el-Dab c a 的非本地人确实作为一个群体食用了更多种类的食物,这是由更广泛的 δ 13 C碳水化合物所暗示的范围(- 13.5 到 - 9.6 ‰ 非本地人与本地人的 - 12.1 到 - 10.3 ‰)。如果移民和埃及本土人之间的饮食文化存在差异,那么使用同位素分析是无法观察到的。
