Diet Change in the Atacama: the Coprolite Evidence



This write up in the Scarlet at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln highlights research that I and my colleagues recently published in the journal PloSOne. After reading Santoro's dissertation about the archaeological site from which the coprolites came, I questioned whether they would reveal evidence of verticality, now called ecological complementarity. This research demonstrates how collaboration can reveal a greater understanding of diet change in the Atacama Desert at the time of the Inka.
