A strontium ratios analysis (87Sr/86Sr) was conducted to explore mobility and residence patterns of 25 individuals buried at the Lombard necropolis of Povegliano Veronese (VR, IT VI-VIII century AD). The chronological and geographical location of Povegliano Veronese plays a key role, as this site represents an important destination in post-classical Italy. Strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr ) of skeletal remains is considered a reliable method to assess residential mobility and origin of archaeological communities because of the strong relation between the chemical composition of bone/teeth and migration events.

Abstract
A strontium ratios analysis (87Sr/86Sr) was conducted to explore mobility and residence patterns of 25 individuals buried at the Lombard necropolis of Povegliano Veronese (VR, IT VI-VIII century AD). The chronological and geographical location of Povegliano Veronese plays a key role, as this site represents an important destination in post-classical Italy. Strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr ) of skeletal remains is considered a reliable method to assess residential mobility and origin of archaeological communities because of the strong relation between the chemical composition of bone/teeth and migration events.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
