dc.description.abstractδ¹⁵N and δ¹³C measurements were used to investigate whether dietary differences existed between Later Stone Age people buried at Robberg/Plettenberg Bay and Matjes River Rock Shelter. Since isotopic values of marine foods from this area had not previously been measured, the first step was to sample shellfish and Arctocephalus pusillus (Cape Fur seals), representing the lower and higher trophic level marine foods important in prehistoric diets along the coast.en_ZA
