Tracing Mobility Patterns of Buried Species of the Late Iron Age Funerary Staggered Turriform of Son Ferrer (Calvià, Spain) Valenzuela-Suau, Lua Delgado Huertas, Antonio Human mobility Livestock mobility Strontium isotopes Oxygen isotope Balearic Islands This work was supported by the project “Comunitats indígenes i contacte cultural al sud-oest de Mallorca a l’edat del ferro. Puig de Sa Morica” financed by Consell Insular de Mallorca; and the R&D Project “Movilidad y conectividad de las comunidades prehistóricas en el Mediterráneo Occidental durante la prehistoria reciente: El caso de las Islas Baleares” (PID2019-108692GB) of the ArchaeoUIB Research Group (Universitat de les Illes Balears) financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. The work of Lua Valenzuela-Suau has been supported by the postdoctoral contract financed by the Ministerio de Universidades, under the Pla de Recuperació, Transformació i Resiliència, and financed by the European Union (NextGenerationEU), with the participation of the Universitat de les Illes Balears. The work of Paloma Salvador has been supported by the predoctoral fellowship (FPI-CAIB) FPI/2245/2019 financed by the Conselleria d’Educació, Cultura i Universitats of the Govern de les Illes Balears and the European Social Fund. This is the first mobility 87Sr/86Sr analysis in human remains made on the Balearic Islands. Eight human individuals buried at the same Late Iron Age funerary chamber of Son Ferrer site (Calvià, Mallorca) have been sampled for strontium and oxygen isotopic analysis (87Sr/86Sr and δ18O). The study includes strontium and oxygen isotopic analysis of domestic mammals buried in the same Funerary Area (FA1) together with present-day vegetation and archaeological bone to assess the strontium isotopic ratios (87Sr/86Sr) around the site. All the results are compatible with the 87Sr/86Sr documented in Mallorca and, more specifically, with the surrounding bedrocks from the site. Humans, caprines, and dogs provided similar results and no significant differences are found between the species. The only exception is a caprine which shows seasonal movement through the period of enamel mineralisation. The isotopic information agrees with the previous studies, which proposed that Son Ferrer site was a symbolic place for the surrounding territory where people from the nearby villages were buried. 2023-10-16T09:11:00Z 2023-10-16T09:11:00Z 2023-08-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Valenzuela-Suau, Lua, Valenzuela-Lamas, Sílvia, García-Rosselló, Jaume, Salvador, Paloma, Nadal, Jordi, Díaz-Zorita Bonilla, Marta, Pena, Leopoldo D., Delgado, Antonio and Calvo, Manuel.
