The author presents here the results of carbon (ẟ13C), oxygen (ẟ18O) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope analysis of human tooth enamel, which has been used to identify potential migrants and shed light on the diet of the ancient population of El-Zuma during the post-Meroitic/Early Makuria period (c. AD 350–600). This publication is Chapter 7 in the monographic series titled 'Early Makuria Research Project. El-Zuma Cemetery', published by Brill.
