人类骨胶原碳氮稳定同位素分析是阐明史前人群饮食的有用工具。柔门时期的人们已经被证明有非常多样化的饮食；然而，这种饮食变化的原因仍然不清楚。因此，本研究的目的是通过对日本Yoshigo贝丘人类骨骼遗骸的稳定同位素分析，阐明在柔门晚期/末期影响柔门人饮食变化的因素，并调查饮食、性别和停尸变量之间的关系。对来自吉国贝丘的123个个体的碳、氮稳定同位素比值进行了评价。结果表明，绳索人消费陆地和海洋资源，并有不同程度的依赖。此外，根据埋葬姿势和在壳层中的位置确定了以下两组：早期职业组和晚期职业组。对这些群体的比较表明，对海洋资源的依赖可能暂时减少了。墓地东部和南部成群埋葬的遗骸分别产生了低和高的氮同位素比率。东群的饮食与埋葬姿势之间以及南群的饮食与性别和装饰品之间存在关联。这些结果表明，饮食和停尸房变量之间存在着与墓葬集群相关的关联。
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of human bone collagen is a useful tool for clarifying the diet of prehistoric populations. The people of the Jomon period have been shown to have had a highly varied diet; however, the reasons for this dietary variation remain unclear. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to clarify the factors that affected dietary variation among the Jomon people during the Late/Final Jomon period through stable isotope analysis of human skeletal remains from the Yoshigo shell mound in Japan, and to investigate the association between diet, sex, and mortuary variables. The carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of 123 individuals from the Yoshigo shell mound were evaluated. The results indicated that the Jomon people consumed both terrestrial and marine resources with varying degrees of dependence. In addition, the following two groups were identified based on burial posture and position in the shell layer: early and late occupation groups. A comparison of these groups revealed that dependence on marine resources might have temporally decreased. Remains buried in clusters in the eastern and southern parts of the cemetery yielded low and high nitrogen isotope ratios, respectively. Associations were found between diet and burial posture in the east cluster and between diet and both sex and ornaments in the south cluster. These results suggest the presence of an association between diet and mortuary variables relative to burial clusters.
