Nebringen, Munsingen and Monte Bibele

on the archaeological and bio-archaeometrical evidence of mobility in the 4th/3rd century BC The cemeteries Nebringen (Lkr. Boblingen/D), Munsingen-Rain (Kt. Bern/CH) and Monte Bibele (prov. Bolgna/I) are important sites in the core country and periphery of the La Tene culture which expanded across the Alps up to Northern Italy in the 4th/3rd century BC. Some graves provide evidence for the mobility of the buried. This phenomenon is partly mirrored by the results of a strontium isotope analysis. It was shown that single individuals or small groups had changed their locality however, the movement of large population groups as reported by the ancient authors under the title Celtic migration is not confirmed.
