Oh hi, I'm that other guy reading the article that actually hypothesizes that the local diet was heavy in barley and beans and that of the bones examined there were also two anomalous gladiators who are hypothesized to have pinned from other parts of the Romin empire that had a diet much heavier than average in meat.

Shocking that a town in the middle of arid turkey had a higher consumption of plant-based materials that don't spoil as easily when compared to a more coastal or metropolitan environment that had better access to live markets.
