According to a statement issued by the University of Copenhagen, the analysis marks the first time scientists have been able to track the movements of a prehistoric person with such precision.
To retrace the Egtved Girl's ancient steps,liverpool new home jersey 2012 13, study lead author Karin Margarita Frei of the University of Copenhagen and the and colleagues examined samples from the girl's body and the items buried with her for different isotopes of strontium,arsenal shirt 2014 buy, an element that is present in the Earth's crust.
Geographical locations are associated with distinctive strontium isotope signatures. Because plants,shirt real madrid 2014, animals and humans absorb strontium from the Earth through water and food, analysing isotopes in their tissues can reveal where they have been.
Ms Frei and her team looked at samples from different parts of the Egtved Girl's body to determine where she was during different periods of her life. They analysed tooth enamel from a first molar (which would have formed during the girl's first three years of life) to figure out where she lived in her earliest years. Hair from her head offered clues about the last two years of her life; pieces of her left thumb nail,dortmund shirt history, about her last six months.
Varying strontium isotope signatures in different locations on her hair and nail - from oldest at the ends to youngest near the scalp and cuticle- showed that she moved around a lot in her final two years.
From the tooth,mario gotze germany jersey number, the team learned that the Egtved Girl and the child with whom she was buried both came from outside Jutland,manchester united shirt with printing, the peninsula that makes up Denmark's mainland. Evidence suggested that both came from near Germany's Black Forest.
My guess is that the Egtved Girl was a southern German girl who was given in marriage to a man in Jutland so as to forge an alliance between two powerful families,new liverpool home kit 13 14, said Kristian Kristensen,barcelona home jersey 14 15, an archaeologist from the University of Gothenburg and a co-author of the study, in a statement.
At the time, Mr Kristensen said,jersey manchester city third 2013, Denmark was rich in amber, which was highly valued in Greece and the Middle East. The region traded large amounts of amber for bronze,manchester united jersey in delhi, working through middlemen in southern Germany. Mr Kristensen said that marriages were used to maintain relations between regions and keep trade routes operating smoothly.
The team attempted to sequence DNA from the Egtved Girl's hair,liverpool t shirts uk, but the genetic material had degraded to the point that they could not analyse it,barcelona 2012 13 away kit, they wrote in their report.
