摘要
瑞典的基督教化(8 - 11世纪)是一个政治、社会和宗教变革的时期,它意味着一个运动和流动的时期。最近在Varnhem庄园教堂场地(Kata g rd)的挖掘,最初建于公元1000年左右,瑞典Västergötland,已经获得了这个时期的信息。本研究使用锶同位素分析来调查这些被埋葬在卡塔格拉德的早期基督徒的生活,并识别非当地人。我们的结果表明,很大一部分成年人口是非本地的,并且在其他地质区域度过了他们的童年,而儿童大多具有当地的锶同位素特征。
They came from near and far – Strontium isotope analysis of people buried at the early Christian site of Varnhem, southwestern Sweden
The Christianization of Sweden (8th–11th centuries) was a period of political, social, and religious change, and it implies a period of movement and mobility. Recent excavations at the Varnhem estate church grounds (Kata Gård), originally built around CE 1000 in Västergötland, Sweden, have yielded information about this period. This study uses strontium isotope analysis to investigate the lives of these early Christians buried at Kata Gård and identify the non-locals. Our results indicate that a large part of the adult population was non-local and had spent their childhoods in other geological areas, whereas the children had mostly local strontium isotope signatures.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports is aimed at archaeologists and scientists engaged with the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to all areas of archaeology. The journal focuses on the results of the application of scientific methods to archaeological problems and debates. It will provide a forum for reviews and scientific debate of issues in scientific archaeology and their impact in the wider subject. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports will publish papers of excellent archaeological science, with regional or wider interest. This will include case studies, reviews and short papers where an established scientific technique sheds light on archaeological questions and debates.
