neolithic europe; strontium isotope analysis; spread of agriculture
As evidence concerning human mobility during the transition to agriculture in central Europe, we present the results of strontium isotope analysis of human skeletons from the Neolithic village of Vaihingen, Germany. We find significantly more 'non-local' (87)Sr/(86)Sr values from humans buried in a Neolithic ditch surrounding Vaihingen than from those buried within the settlement. These results fit with previous studies showing a correlation between burial circumstances and strontium isotope signatures from LBK cemeteries of southwestern Germany (Price et al. 2001; Bentley et al. 2002). A pilot study of Neolithic animal teeth from Vaihingen suggests that either 'local' (87)Sr/(86)Sr signatures were more variable than the analysed human bones suggest, or that these domestic animals themselves were mobile, perhaps ranged by mobile pastoralists.
