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…
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…
Investigating Diet and Disease in a Medieval German Poorhouse Population using Isotopic Analysis of Human and Faunal Tissues
This study investigates a medieval (twelfth to sixteenth century) poorhouse skeletal collection from Regensburg, Germany, by assessing diet and health. Medieval poorhouses were an early form of social care facility that offered permanent shelter to the sick and destitute. The Regensburg sample offers a chance to explore the lives of an underprivileged group in larger medieval society. Isotopic data from bone collagen, and structural carbonate are…
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…
The Early-Merovingian Cemetery in München-Perlach (Bavaria) – Analysing Skeletal Morphology, Health and Disease and Strontium Isotope Ratios
The present study focuses on the living conditions and mobility of individuals buried in Mnchen-Perlach at around 500 AD, using archaeological, morphological and archaeometric methods. The sex, age at death, and body height of each individual were ascertained with the aid of morphological examination techniques. The skeletal series is characterised by a balanced sex distribution and a surprisingly high life expectancy for Merovingian times. Compa…
Intraskeletal isotopic compositions (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) of bone collagen
Paleodiet research traditionally interprets differences in collagen isotopic compositions (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) as indicators of dietary distinction even though physiological processes likely play some role in creating variation. This research investigates the degree to which bone collagen δ 13 C and δ 15 N values normally vary within the skeleton and examines the influence of several diseases common to ancient populations on these isotopic compositio…
