Transalpine Mobilität und Kulturtransfer. Erstellen eines Isotopenfingerabdruckes für bioarchäologische Funde, insbesondere Leichenbrand, und seine Applikation auf archäologisch-kulturhistorische Fragestellungen in der Spätbronze- bis Römerzeit

在项目的第一阶段，为感兴趣的阿尔卑斯地区（Inn-Eisack-Etsch-Brenner-Passage）生成了同位素图，以及用于验证从生物考古磷灰石收集的同位素数据的标准目录。此外，现代数据挖掘方法可以表明，基于四种同位素（87Sr/86Sr, 208Pb/204P, 207Pb/204Pb, 206Pb/204Pb）的测量能够提供火化遗骸起源的信息。该项目的第二阶段将致力于将同位素图应用于具体的考古问题陈述，这些问题陈述在很大程度上主要或完全依赖于火化遗骸。四个独立的考古项目是根据从恩菲尔德时期到罗马时代晚期的时间顺序组织的。特别是，用来解决有关人、动物和思想的运动和交换的原始动机和动力的问题的方法是至关重要的。利用坚实的数据基础，以文化为导向的科学家和人口生物学家都可以为区分流动和迁移做出同样的贡献。将考古发现与同位素特征进行比较，将大大提高我们在上述时间段内对重点地区的历史认识，并将作为将来类似问题陈述的参考。到目前为止，火化遗骸一直是一个相对被忽视的研究基础，这是第一次受到系统的调查。来自第一阶段和第二阶段的研究将结合起来，最终综合参考区域的跨高山流动和文化转移。项目结束后将建立开放数据库，促进国际合作与交流。

In the first phase of the project an isotopic map was generated for the Alpine region of interest (Inn-Eisack-Etsch-Brenner-Passage) as well as a catalog of criteria used to validate the isotopic data collected from bioarchaeological apatite. Furthermore, modern data mining methods could show that measurements based on four isotopes (87Sr/86Sr, 208Pb/204P, 207Pb/204Pb, 206Pb/204Pb) are able to provide information on the origin of cremated remains.The Project¿s second phase will be devoted to applying the isotopic map to specific archaeological problem statements, which rely to a large extent mostly or solely on cremated remains. Four individual archaeological projects are organized according to chronological time periods ranging from the Urnfield period to the late Roman Age. In particular, the approach used to address questions regarding the original motivation and impetus for the movement and exchange of man, animal and ideas is of central importance. Utilizing a solid foundation of data, both culturally oriented scientists and population biologists can contribute equally to differentiating between mobility and migration. A comparison of the archaeological findings with the isotopic signatures will significantly improve our historical understanding of the regions of focus throughout the aforementioned time periods and will function as a reference for similar problem statements in the future. For the first time cremated remains, which up until now have been a relatively neglected substrate for study, are subject to systematic investigation. Research stemming from phase I and II will be combined in a final synthesis of transalpine mobility in the reference region and cultural transfer. An open access database will be established following project conclusion to facilitate international cooperation and exchange.
