保存在考古陶器中的残余脂肪的单个脂肪酸组分的稳定碳同位素（δ（13）C）组成表明，乳品业是考古经济的一个组成部分。特征性δ（13）C值源于牛奶和脂肪中C-18：0脂肪酸生物合成来源的偏差。在相似的牧场和饲料中饲养的动物的牛奶和脂肪具有不同的同位素特征。
The stable carbon isotope (delta(13)C) compositions of individual fatty acid components of remnant fats preserved in archaeological pottery vessels show that dairying was a component of archaeological economies. Characteristic delta(13)C values arise from biases in the biosynthetic origins of the C-18:0 fatty acids in milk and adipose fat. Milk and adipose fat from animals raised on similar pastures and fodders have distinct isotopic signatures.
