This chapter provides a brief discussion of some of principles and procedures of isotopic proveniencing and paleodiet studies, and summarizes some isotopic information from Poland and the possible homelands of the Bodzia individuals in Scandinavia and the Ukraine. The isotopic analysis of the Bodzia burials was able to identify a single local individual, D165, and 10 non-local individuals among the burials. The Bodzia study reiterates an important lesson in the investigation of human provenience. The important lesson is that all the available evidence, and especially the archaeological context and information, has to be used to make suggestions for place of origin. In the case of Bodzia the grave contents implicate the Kievan Rus region and Ukraine very strongly and the isotopic evidence from strontium certainly fits with this interpretation. The isotope evidence alone cannot pinpoint this region but together the isotopes and archaeology make a strong case.
