^aAll radiocarbon dates calibrated using SHcal13 [17] using Bchron [18] as implemented in R statistical computing environment [19]. See the electronic supplementary material, table S1 for raw data.

^bδ¹⁸O_{MW (VSMOW)} reflects inferred drinking water values derived from human bone (see the electronic supplementary material).

^cδ¹³C_(VPDB) reflects corrected values for enrichment during carbon incorporation (see the electronic supplementary material).

^dDates on human bone. All other dates are on charcoal from associated pit-feature contexts [16].
