This paper presents a revised chronology for the Linearbandkeramik and strontium isotope measurements of human skeletal material from two cemeteries which indicate a high incidence of migration. It appears that LBK farmers were highly migratory and interacted with surrounding communities.
The term Linearbandkeramik (LBK) is traditionally used to describe the first farmers of central Europe and the pottery they introduced approximately 7,500 years ago. Radiocarbon dates for the LBK suggest a rapid spread into central Europe from its origin on the Hungarian Plain. The geographic homogeneity of LBK artifacts and archi
