Dietary Trends through Time at the Phoenix Powerhouse Site: A Stable Isotope Perspective

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Phoenix Powerhouse site has a 4,700-year history of use by Native peoples inhabiting the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The site, currently managed by PG&E, has yielded human, faunal, and charred plant macrofossil remains during archaeological mitigation and investigation. At the request of the Tuolumne Me-Wuk and working in conjunction with PG&E, we use stable isotope analysis of these remains to understand dietary trends through time at the site and examine how this relates to the broader picture of diet throughout this portion of the region during the late Holocene.
