Mobility patterns from the Povegliano Veronese burial ground. Preliminary strontium isotope results
Archaeological data and written sources suggest that the Longobards were a community “on the move”. To support this hypothesis, we analysed strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) to explore mobility patterns of 24 individuals buried in the Longobard graveyard at Povegliano Veronese (Verona; late 6th - early 8th century). This site, located on the Via Postumia, represents a possible arrival destination from Pannonia.
