Abstract
⺠We conducted controlled charring experiments of naked barley, emmer and spelt. ⺠Charring influence on grain characteristics and isotopic composition was examined. ⺠δ15N in uncharred grains was similar across six different grain weight classes. ⺠Charring did not distort the manure-derived isotopic imprint on δ15N in grains. ⺠We found the archaeobotanical applicability of the isotope approach very promising.
