Popis | The paper is devoted to the application of strontium isotope analysis to investigate samples from an 18th century burial ground in Semonice, northeastern Bohemia. The circumstances of the burial ground's origins as well as the origins of the deceased could not unambiguously be determined with the help of archaeological and anthropological methods. However, the results of isotope analysis helped to answer both questions. When these are supplemented with the testimony of written sources, it is even possible to specify the time of the burial ground's establishment. |
