Several terrestrial herbivores displayed higher bone collagen \u03b4<jats:sup>34<\/jats:sup>S values than their contemporaries, suggesting trade and\/or movement of animals to the region from coastal areas. Broad ranging \u03b4<jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>C, \u03b4<jats:sup>15<\/jats:sup>N, and \u03b4<jats:sup>34<\/jats:sup>S values for humans suggest the population were consuming varied diets, while outliers within the dataset could conceivably have been migrants to the area.
