Determining the roots of Urnfield Culture at Přáslavice, Czech Republic
Sr values (0.7114-0.7128) well within the established local Sr baseline, thus supporting the hypothesis that Urnfield at Přáslavice was a local development. FTIR and carbon and oxygen isotope analyses also suggest the group practiced cremation similarly to other Urnfield populations. Overall, this study not only enhances our knowledge of the social dynamics and funerary practices at Přáslavice, but also establishes a crucial bioavailable Sr baseline for future palaeomobility studies in the region.
