摘要：

This paper presents distribution patterns and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope measurements of recently excavated faunal remains from two middens at Khami, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Zimbabwe. The middens are dated to c. AD 1475-1650. The results of the analysis indicate that food practices may have differed between high- and low-lying areas of the site, as reflected in the two excavated contexts studied here. C-13 values of serial samples of tooth dentine show that cattle and wild grazers consumed C-4 grasses year-round. The availability of rich natural grazing would have been a considerable attraction to the builders of the site.
