The project aims to study the Iron Age population of Öland based on the graves, to shed light on the structure and dynamics of society. A very important part of this is migration, which is especially appropriate to study on an island like Öland with extensive flow of goods and people during the Iron Age. Isotope samples (strontium, lead, sulphur and oxygen) will be taken on enamel and bone from 150 individuals to study provenance. The samples reflect the local geology and climate of the place where the individual lived when the bones or enamel were formed. The size of the material makes it possible to discuss variations in migration over time (chronologically), as well as between different groups (e.g. males and females, individuals with rich burial gifts - those with few/none, individuals with pathological changes) and also the life histories of individuals. A similar study, which puts the isotope results into an osteological and archaeological context, has never been done before in Scandinavia. It is a unique opportunity to take advantage of the exceptionally rich burial material from Öland in order to broaden the perspective on Iron Age society. My osteological background provides a depth in the interpretation of the isotope analyses, which together with the in-depth study of grave goods/form (archaeologically) has previously been completely lacking in research and can be said to be both unique and groundbreaking.
