The Winthir Collection
Documented skeletal collections that can be linked to individual life‐history information remain critical resources for bioarchaeological research, yet nonmodern identified series are still rare in Central Europe. We present the Winthir Collection, a late‐19th‐century skeletal assemblage from Munich, Germany, comprising 245 identified individuals recovered from an abandoned cemetery extension. Individual attribution was achieved through the integ…
Tracing early life histories from Roman times to the Medieval era
In humans, breastfeeding and weaning depend on the infant's needs and physiology but are also influenced by environmental and cultural factors. While infant feeding strategies vary across different regions and historical eras, the associated transition from breastmilk to solid foods is universally thought to be stressful. However, still little is known about infant feeding practices and possibly associated stress in former times. This also applie…
Prone burials and evidence of interpersonal violence
In early medieval times, the people of the Baiuvarii inhabited large parts of modern Bavaria (Germany). Among other evidence, about 10,000 graves dating from this time provide evidence of an exceptional level of settlement activity. These graves were arranged predominately in multiple parallel rows, so‐called Reihengräber, whereby the bodies were placed in stretched, supine positions. Burials that deviate from this custom are rarely found. For th…
Kinship-based social inequality in Bronze Age Europe
Ancient DNA informs on past cultures Archaeology has used analysis of the artifacts and remains of people to uncover their past behaviors and to infer their cultural practices. However, establishing genetic relationships has only recently become possible. Mittnik et al. examined the kinship and inheritance of the remains of people from the German Lech River Valley over a time period spanning the Late Neolithic Corded Ware Culture, the Bell Beaker…
How bone degradation, age, and collagen extraction methods affect stable isotope analysis
Family graves? The genetics of collective burials in early medieval southern Germany on trial
Digging up the plague
Vergangene Pestepidemien wurden vor allem in schriftlichen Quellen überliefert; insbesondere die Justinianische Pest des frühen Mittelalters und der Schwarze Tod des späten Mittelalters wurden dort in lebendigen Farben beschrieben. Vor der Einführung der aDNA-Analyse war es aber oftmals schwierig, archäologische nachgewiesene Bestattungen eindeutig der Pest zuzuweisen – vor allem in Gegenden, wo schriftliche Überlieferungen, die die Pest erwähnen…
Early medieval stone‐lined graves in Southern Germany
OBJECTIVES: century AD, are assumed to be tombs of emerging nobility. While previous research on stone-lined grave goods supports their status as elite burials, an important factor defining nobility-kinship-has not been examined so far. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Morphological analysis of the commingled skeletal remains of 21 individuals from three archaeological sites was carried out. Radiocarbon dating was conducted on these individuals to gain inf…

United in death—related by blood? Genetic and archeometric analyses of skeletal remains from the neolithic earthwork bruchsal‐aue
OBJECTIVES: Straight next to a segment of the outer ditch of the Late Neolithic Michelsberg Culture earthwork of Bruchsal-Aue in SW-Germany (ca. 4250-3650 calBC), a multiple burial of eight individuals (two male adults and six children) plus a subsequent child burial was excavated. In this study, we applied a multidisciplinary approach to elucidate interpersonal relationships and life histories within this collective. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To de…

Experimental chemical degradation compared to natural diagenetic alteration of collagen
Stable isotopic ratios from archaeological bone collagen are valid palaeodietary indicators, but depend on sufficiently well preserved molecules and several collagen quality criteria have to be fulfilled (mostly collagen wt%, C%; N%, C/N molar ratio). For a reassessment of these quality criteria, and a better understanding of the chemical degradation of bone collagen, experimentally degraded modern bones and 54 archaeological human bones were inv…
Degradation of biomolecules in bones
Degradation of macromolecules
Diagenesis of macromolecules is a not yet fully understood process that can be important for anthropological and forensic research. Trying to elucidate the diagenesis of DNA and proteins we investigated the process of fragmentation of DNA and razemisation of aspartic acid in human bone material. We created an in vitro-model of accelerated aging by incubating bone samples in hot water. A comparison of diagenesis of molecules in those artificially …
