Abstract
To describe changes in diet and/or husbandry practices over the course of the Bronze Age on the territory of present-day Czechia, carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) isotopic values were measured in bone or tooth collagen from 103 humans and 30 animals (including cattle, sheep/goat, domestic pig, dog, red deer, and aurochs), together with 8 samples of charred cereal grains (einkorn, emmer, spelt, barley, and millet). The dataset was divided into four subgroups according to geographical and chronological contexts: Early (2200–1500 BCE) vs. Late (1300-1020 BCE) Bronze Age, and Bohemia vs. Moravia including archaeological sites of Mikulovice, Brno-Tuřany, Zálezlice, Blučina Cezavy, Hoštice, Ivanovice na Hané, Vyškov-Nouzka, Plačice and Bavoryně.
