This dataset summarizes published radiocarbon and δ13C data, and also
includes new, previously unpublished data for lemurs, hippos, and a
euplerid carnivoran from the Central Highlands. Collagen was isolated by
soaking samples in 0.5 N HCl at 4°C, rinsing in ultrapure water, soaking
samples in 0.01 N NaOH, rinsing again in ultrapure water, gelatinizing in
0.01 N HCl at ca. 70°C, filtering through 1.5 micrometer glass fiber
filters, and freeze drying. Stable isotope values were obtained at the
Stable Isotope Lab at the University of Cincinnati and radiocarbon dates
were obtained at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. We corrected data by
-1.2‰ to account for isotopic changes in atmospheric CO2 following the
industrial revolution (The Suess Effect).
