Understanding the subsistence strategy of a prehistoric population can lead to knowledge of past adaptations to the local environment. Subsistence can also be used to elucidate differences and similarities between populations in a region. The main research goal of this thesis is to use an ecological framework and chemical techniques to discover the main contributors to the prehistoric diet of populations inhabiting the study regions in west central Chihuahua. Fifty nine local plant samples and twenty one local animal samples were tested for stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. These were compared to five human samples from two archaeological sites in order to determine the prehistoric diet. It was determined that the prehistoric populations in the study region were primarily agricultural, and subsisted on beans and corn. This base was fortified with animal meat from deer and other animals such as rabbits and scavengers that frequented fields and settlements.
