Abstract:		 Tested the use of stable isotope analysis in tooth enamel bioapatite to detect seasonal consumption of seaweed on modern sheep from the Orkney archipelago, with no contribution, seasonal contribution or exclusive contribution of seaweed to diet. The protocol was applied to archaeological assemblages from the same archipelago. A winter consumption of seaweed was detected in one sheep from the Neolithic site of Point of Cott and one sheep from the Iron Age assemblage of Mine Howe. No contribution of seaweed to the sheep diet was shown at the Late Norse site of Earl's Bu.
