Although human dietary evidence from the Jiangzhai site has already been investigated,
there are some important issues that have not been discussed clearly, such as whether
these human diets changed between periods, and whether there were any differences in
human diets among the Banpo, Shijia and Jiangzhai sites. Considering these concerns,
stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic analysis on ancient human bones from the Jiangzhai
site was reanalyzed. The values of carbon isotopes of human bone collagen (-11.5‰�…
