Locals or Migrants? Isotope Analysis of Late Bronze – Pre-Roman Iron Age Human Cremations in Ėgliškiai Population
Archaeological data from the Bronze Age and Pre-Roman Iron Age reveal significant cultural changes in the East Baltic Region, often linked to influences from other parts of Europe. Whether immigration played a major role in these transformations, remains under debate. This paper presents the first strontium isotope measurements (87Sr/86Sr) from 25 human samples (cremations) recovered at the Ėgliškiai barrow cemetery in western Lithuania. The site…
Determining the roots of Urnfield Culture at Přáslavice, Czech Republic
This study examines the residential mobility patterns and funerary practices of an Urnfield cemetery at Přáslavice, Czech Republic, using radiocarbon dating, carbon, oxygen, and strontium isotope analyses, and FTIR analysis. A regional bioavailable strontium baseline map was created using strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) of modern plant samples (n=208) from 70 localities across Moravia and Czech Silesia. Radiocarbon dates (n=17) suggest that …
Land management during the Bronze Age in the Upper Seine Valley (France)
During the Bronze Age, the Upper Seine Valley, in northeastern France, was a dynamic region, at the confluence of two rivers and at the crossroads of two cultural entities. Initially aligned with the Atlantic cultural sphere, the area experienced an increasing influence from the Tumulus culture between the 14th and 11th centuries BCE. This interaction led to significant transformations in material culture and funerary practices, notably with crem…

Rethinking strontium variability beyond mobility
Colonia Iulia Emona at the crossroads in the South-Eastern Alpine region during the late Roman period – An isotope perspective
Lively landscapes
The Late Bronze-Early Iron Age (LBA-EIA) urnfield of Tilburg-Udenhoutseweg yielded 229 cremation graves with various features. This large cemetery is a unique opportunity to reconstruct LBA-EIA population dynamics in the southeast of the Netherlands, where few of such large urnfields have been excavated. The combination of demographic data, strontium isotope ratios (Sr-87/Sr-86) of 109 selected cremation deposits, spatial organisation, and radioc…
Mobility in a medieval industrial city
Dynamiques territoriales et changements culturels à la fin de l'âge du Bronze
Dans la vallée de la Haute Seine, au nord-est de la France, la transition entre l’âge du Bronze moyen et l’âge du Bronze final révèle un changement culturel marqué. Les études montrent une évolution des dynamiques de population et des pratiques funéraires, influencées par des groupes venus de l’est, associés à la culture du Tumulus. L’étude se concentre sur deux sites à Marolles-sur-Seine, dans l’interfluve Seine-Yonne : la Croix-Saint-Jacques et…
Strontium isotopes and cremation
Calcined bones are a reliable substrate for the preservation of strontium isotopes. • 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values suggest different mobility pattern and origin of some individuals. • Isotope analysis improves the estimation of the minimum number of individuals. • Grave goods enhance the understanding of mobility patterns. Cremation was a very common ritual in ancient Roman funerary traditions. However, the study of cremated human remains has always been …
Over the river and into the hills
The Late Bronze Age is characterized by the increasing homogenization of material culture and the prevalence of urn burials. The cemetery of Inzersdorf, located in the Lower Traisen Valley, Austria, is used to investigate whether changes in burial practices during the Late Bronze Age were locally driven or influenced by external factors. This study interprets strontium isotope data from 215 calcined human bone samples in the context of a local ba…
Past rainfall patterns in Southeast Asia revealed by microanalysis of δ18O values in human teeth
Variations in human subsistence and settlement patterns have been documented at Holocene archaeological sites across Island and Mainland Southeast Asia. Although climate is frequently invoked as a causal mechanism underlying this variation, direct evidence of ancient rainfall variability on the scale of human lifetimes has thus far been elusive. Here we use a novel time-resolute method for in situ measurement of human tooth enamel δ18O values (n …
Diet and mobility in early medieval coastal Belgium
A large-scale environmental strontium isotope baseline map of Portugal for archaeological and paleoecological provenance studies
Who's been using my burial mound? Radiocarbon dating and isotopic tracing of human diet and mobility at the collective burial site, Le Tumulus des Sables, southwest France
Mapping of bioavailable strontium isotope ratios in France for archaeological provenance studies
Strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) of archaeological samples (teeth and bones) can be used to track mobility and migration across geologically distinct landscapes. However, traditional interpolation algorithms and classification approaches used to generate Sr isoscapes are often limited in predicting multiscale 87Sr/86Sr patterning. Here we investigate the suitability of plant samples and soil leachates from the IRHUM database (www.irhumdatabas…
