I will be conducting stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of human bone collagen from the skeletal remains of individuals from the Maya archaeological site of Cerros, Belize. My results will serve as a proxy for diet, indicating generally what food types people were consuming and how varied those food types were. I will then compare radiocarbon dates for the individuals with known paleoclimate data to determine significant climatic events occurring during the life of the individuals. This will allow me to understand how dietary diversity or lack thereof played a role in resilience to climatic changes, and how climate change may have been a factor in the downfall of the community that occupied Cerros.
