| Abstract: |
A paleodietary analysis of the mid-Holocene mortuary site, Windover (8BR246), based on carbon and ni bone-collagen values and archaeobotanical information is consistent with a subsistence strategy that fauna and a range of terrestrial flora, such as grapes and prickly pear. The isotopic analysis does support the extensive human dietary use of either marine mammals or classic terrestrial fauna such a rabbit. Seasonal (late summer/early fall) use of the site is indicated by the range of flora found i the burials.
