Seasonal mobility of the adult horse killed by hunters at Klementowice
Seasonal mobility of the adult horse killed by hunters at Klementowice
This paper reports intra-tooth oxygen, carbon and strontium isotopic data collected from the M2 tooth enamel of the adult horse found at Klementowice. Strontium isotope ratios were measured using laser ablation, providing 2027 individual measurements over 67.32 mm of enamel. The results are compared with those of local geology to estimate mobility of the horse over the period of tooth growth (approx. 1–2 years). The results indicate phases of movement probably correlated with seasonal changes indicated in the oxygen isotope data, and show the horse did not come near the immediate vicinity of Klementowice during this time. Possible patterns of movement across the surrounding region are discussed.

Abstract
This paper reports intra-tooth oxygen, carbon and strontium isotopic data collected from the M2 tooth enamel of the adult horse found at Klementowice. Strontium isotope ratios were measured using laser ablation, providing 2027 individual measurements over 67.32 mm of enamel. The results are compared with those of local geology to estimate mobility of the horse over the period of tooth growth (approx. 1–2 years). The results indicate phases of movement probably correlated with seasonal changes indicated in the oxygen isotope data, and show the horse did not come near the immediate vicinity of Klementowice during this time. Possible patterns of movement across the surrounding region are discussed.
