Local or nonlocal? A research of strontium isotope ratios of teeth and bones on skeletal remains with artificial deformed skulls.
The analysis of strontium isotopic composition of teeth and bone served as an approach to determine nonlocal individuals with artificially deformed skulls in Teuton and Gepid sites. A differing Sr-isotopic composition between tooth and bone from the same skeleton reveals a residence change between early childhood and the last ten years before death. The results show that most Teuton and Gepid individuals investigated are local habitants.
