Sinopsis

This study presents the largest strontium and oxygen isotope sample for the Neolithic Carpathian Basin and discusses human mobility patterns on various geographical scales throughout archaeological cultures, chronological periods, and sex categories. The sample comprises 718 human dental enamel samples from 55 Neolithic sites spanning the period from the Starčevo to the Balaton-Lasinja culture in Transdanubia and from the Körös to the Tiszapolgár cultural groups on the Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld). This diachronic multiproxy analysis illustrates individual movement behaviour such as exogamy patterns within extensive economic and socio-cultural networks and their evolution throughout the Neolithic period.
