Management strategies and season of birth of caprines from the city of Argilos (ca. 655 − 357 BC) are established through the analysis of stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of sequentially sampled tooth enamel. The results reveal a variety of management regimes being practiced by farmers at ancient Argilos, with no observable differences in diet and herding strategies between the Archaic and Classical periods. The samples that provide season of birth data, however, suggest a possible distinction between the two periods. Births are centred around autumn/early winter in the Archaic period and late winter/spring during the Classical period and could be the result of the prioritisation of different commodities by farmers. 1866-9557 https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11301 10.1007/s12520-024-02104-3 1866-9565 Classical period Argilos Agriculture Stable isotopes Greece Caprine management at Archaic and Classical period Argilos in northern Greece: the isotopic evidence from sequentially sampled tooth enamel
