Stable Isotopes of Carbon and Nitrogen as Tracers for Paleo-Diet Reconstruction (2012, methodology): “Prowse et al. (2003) noted that assuming an offset of 13 ‰ leads to an average diet for terrestrial C3 consumers of � 25 ‰. In the absence of well controlled experimental data comparable to those used by Passey et al. an objective determination is as yet unknown.”
Stable isotopes and archaeology in central Chile: methodological insights and interpretative problems for dietary reconstruction (2009, background): “Notwithstanding, Harrison and Katzenberg (2003) found the best fit for whole diet in humans with a value of þ12% (reflecting true diet), and Prowse et al. (2004) with a value of þ13%.”
Bacterial Associations with Legumes (2015, methodology): “Chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea together with cereals like wheat are used in Mediterranean diet since the Roman Age (Prowse et al., 2003).”
