Barrett, J.H., Beukens, R.P. and Nicholson, R.A. (2001) Diet and ethnicity during the Viking colonisation of northern Scotland: evidence from fish bones and stable carbon isotopes. Antiquity, 75 (287). pp. 145-154. ISSN 0003-598X
Abstract
Diet and ethnicity are strongly related. Recent work on fish-bone ratios and stable carbon isotopes suggest that the Vikings increased the fish contribution to the diet of Orkney and Shetland by a greater investment in deep-sea fishing.
