摘要: Navan Fort is an iconic prehistoric Irish ceremonial centre and the legendary capital of Ulster. The fort has produced exceptional pig-dominated faunal assemblage that also contained a barbary macaque skull. Dating from 4th to 1st century BC, it likely be feasting may have drawn people their animals across Ulster beyond. This study uses multi-isotope (87Sr/86Sr, δ34S, δ13C, δ15N) approach identify non-local reconstruct site catchment. New biosphere mapping means isotope data can more confidently interpreted combination strontium sulphur analysis potential estimate origins. In absence human remains, fauna provide best proxy for movement. Results 35 analysed are wide-ranging, especially in terms (0.707–0.715), which largest range site. Sulphur values restricted (13.1‰−17.1‰) but high context British data. clear evidence (and thus people) coming beyond, demonstrating site’s wide was clearly major with far-reaching influence hosted feasts drew afar.
