“It’s the first scientific proof that the Vikings did bring their animals with them from Scandinavia,” said Prof Julian Richards, co-author of the study from the University of York. Studying the ratio of strontium isotopes in human remains, and comparing it with that of plants in the area, can shed light on whether an individual could have been local to where they were buried.This is because ratio of isotopes of strontium in the soil reflects the makeup of the rocks beneath. When strontium enters the food chain it is incorporated into our bodies, replacing some of the calcium in our teeth and skeletons. In the case of bones, this process continues to occur throughout life.
The team’s analysis suggests one of the adults and the child could have grown up locally to the barrow, or possibly in Denmark, although the isotope ratios also fit with large parts of Europe.
