研究人员分析了德国南部、奥地利、捷克共和国和匈牙利的贝尔烧杯墓中发现的人类骨骼遗骸，以获取人类迁徙的信息。研究人员测量了骨骼和牙釉质中的锶同位素比率，以确定这些人在其一生中是否改变了“地质”居住地。锶同位素在不同类型的岩石中有所不同。它们通过饮食进入人体并沉积在骨骼中。牙釉质在儿童早期形成，不会改变。骨骼在人的一生中不断变化。同一个体的骨骼和牙釉质之间锶同位素比值的差异表明居住地的变化。对81名贝尔烧杯人的分析结果表明，51人在其一生中曾搬家。在讨论研究结果的同时，还提供了欧洲中南部的地质信息、锶同位素分析的应用以及相关的贝尔烧杯遗址。
Human skeletal remains from Bell Beaker graves in southern Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary were analyzed for information on human migration. Strontium isotope ratios were measured in bone and tooth enamel to determine if these individuals had changed ‘geological’ residence during their lifetimes. Strontium isotopes vary among different types of rock. They enter the body through diet and are deposited in the skeleton. Tooth enamel forms during early childhood and does not change. Bone changes continually through life. Difference in the strontium isotope ratio between bone and enamel in the same individual indicates change in residence. Results from the analysis of 81 Bell Beaker individuals indicated that 51 had moved during their lifetime. Information on the geology of south-central Europe, the application of strontium isotope analysis, and the relevant Bell Beaker sites is provided along with discussion of the results of the study.
