title: Isotopic analyses suggest mammoth and plant in the diet of the oldest anatomically modern humans from far southeast Europe
abstract: Relatively high <sup>15</sup>N abundances in bone collagen of early anatomically modern humans in Europe have often been interpreted as a specific consumption of freshwater resources, even if mammoth is an alternative high <sup>15</sup>N prey. At Buran-Kaya III, access to associated fauna in a secured archaeological context and application of recently developed isotopic analyses of individuals amino acids offer the opportunity to further examine this hypothesis. The site of Buran-Kaya III is loc
