Stable Carbon Isotopes and Prehistoric Diets in the Southwestern Cape Province, South Africa. Oxford: BAR International Series Oxford: BAR International Series Google Scholar. Carbon (6 C) has 15 known isotopes, from 8 C to 22 C, of which 12 C and 13 C are longest-lived radioisotope is 14 C, with a half-life of 5, years.

This is also the only carbon radioisotope found in nature—trace quantities are formed cosmogenically by the reaction 14 N + 1 n → 14 C + 1 H.

The most stable artificial radioisotope is 11 C, which has a half-life of minutes.

NIKOLAAS J. VAN DER MERWE is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cape Town. His research interests are in the fields of stable isotopes and metallurgical history. Stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone have become increasingly frequent inclusions in archaeological reports over the past few decades.

The majority of such studies has been done in North America, where the use of marine foods and the introduction of maize have been monitored. Similar questions have been addressed in Mesoamerica and South America.

Stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon frequently are used to determine the mix of diet sources for consumers. Stable isotopes of nitrogen are very useful in determining trophic position of consumers.
