Abstract:		 Measurement of strontium isotopes in archaeological skeletons is an effective technique for characterizing prehistoric mobility. However, interpretation of the results can be highly sensitive to small changes in the determined `local' 87Sr/86Sr signature at an archaeological site. Because the local range is often defined as within 2 s.d. from the mean 87Sr/86Sr value in archaeological human bones, the susceptibility of bones to diagenesis may lead to significant overestimates in the number of `non-locals' at a particular site. Tooth enamel, on the other hand, is highly resistant to postmortem biochemical alteration, and it is found that 87Sr/86Sr in archaeological enamel samples from animals of Neolithic Germany provide a useful alternative estimate for the local range.
