Between Raetia Secunda and the dutchy of Bavaria: Exploring patterns of human movement and diet

Abstract: During the transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, the Roman Empire dissolved in the West and medieval empires were founded. There has been much discussion about the role that migration played in this transition. This is especially true for the formation of the Baiuvariian tribe and the founding of this tribal dukedom, which took place from the 5th to the 6th century in what is now Southern Bavaria (Germany). In this study, we aimed to determine the extent of immigration during the beginning of this… Show more

“…The suitability of environmental and faunal data for reconstructing local δ 18 O has been criticized 87 based on a large range of factors possibly biasing the obtained estimates. For this reason, we first checked the distribution of δ 18 O in the human sample by means of a Kernel density estimation (see also 83 , 104 , 105 ) and used the range of the 95% density region as a threshold for defining outliers (see 105 and Supplementary text: isotopic analyses ). The most obvious limit of this approach is the small sample size (N = 8), an issue that we took into account when discussing our results.…”
