This research combines Strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) and Oxygen (δ¹⁸O) isotope analysis to challenge the prevailing interpretation of patrilocal exogamic practices among eastern European Early Neolithic Linearbandkeramik (LBK) communities. Patrilocality has been considered the key factor influencing the mobility patterns of central Europe’s first farmers (c. 5500–4900 cal. BC), especially in the south-eastern Moravian region (Czech Republic). Focusing our attention on both male and female tooth enamel samples from cemeteries, settlement graves and small clusters of graves, this paper reassesses the correlation between mobility, biological sex, and funerary practices. This task is accomplished by establishing a new isotopic footprint using new ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr data, as well as significantly increasing the number of sampled individuals for ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and δ¹⁸O. The outcome of this research contributes to a better understanding of the mobility patterns among early farmers in central Europe, challenging existing theories and providing new insights into their social and cultural dynamics.

这项研究结合了锶 ( ⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr) 和氧 ( δ ¹⁸ O) 同位素分析，挑战东欧新石器时代早期Linearbandkeramik (LBK) 社区中父系外婚习俗的普遍解释。父权制被认为是影响中欧第一批农民（约公元前 5500-4900 年）流动模式的关键因素，特别是在摩拉维亚东南部地区（捷克共和国）。本文将注意力集中在来自墓地、定居点坟墓和小群坟墓的男性和女性牙釉质样本上，重新评估了流动性、生物性别和丧葬习俗之间的相关性。这项任务是通过使用新的⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr 数据建立新的同位素足迹以及显着增加⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr 和δ ¹⁸ O 的采样个体数量来完成的。这项研究的结果有助于更好地理解研究了中欧早期农民的流动模式，挑战了现有理论，并为他们的社会和文化动态提供了新的见解。
