Abstract(s):
Raně středověké pohřebiště zkoumané v roce 2012 v Praze-Střešovicích poskytlo antropologický materiál z devatenácti dospělých jedinců, u nichž bylo možno antropologicky odhadnout pohlaví, pro zjištění složení jejich stravy pomocí analýzy stabilních izotopů uhlíku a dusíku v kostech. Jde o relativně reprezentativní soubor, neboť tvoří 65,5 % ze všech dospělých jedinců nalezených na pohřebišti. Izotopové hodnoty uhlíku a dusíku ukazují na stravu suchozemského charakteru, bez významného podílu ryb a s relativně významným podílem prosa. Přestože hrobová výbava zřetelně ukazuje na majetkové rozdíly, nízká variabilita hodnot (zejména uhlíku) je znakem jednotného potravního chování celé populační skupiny, což je pro tento soubor specifické. Hodnoty získané z lokality ležící v sousedství Pražského hradu byly srovnávány s hodnotami zjištěnými jednak na pohřebištích v hradním areálu, jednak v jeho bezprostředním zázemí. Porovnání hodnot ukazuje na socioekonomický gradient ve výživě vůči populaci Pražského hradu. Oproti dalším souborům ze zázemí přemyslovských center vykazují Střešovice nadprůměrnou kvalitu výživy.
An early medieval burial site investigated in 2012 in Prague-Střešovice provided anthropological material from the skeletal remains of nineteen adults, with anthropological determination of sex in order to study the composition of their diet by means of the analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in the bones. It is a representative series as it contains 65.5% of all adults buried on the site. The isotope values of carbon and nitrogen point towards terrestrial diet, without a substantial proportion of fish and with a relatively high proportion of millet. Although grave goods clearly show differences in wealth, the low variability of the isotopic values (especially carbon) suggests a homogenous diet of the whole population group, which is specific for this sample. Isotopic values acquired from a location situated in a close distance to Prague Castle were compared with those from burial sites within the castle complex and with those in its hinterland. The comparison of the values points towards a socioeconomic gradient in the diet in comparison with the Prague Castle population. In contrast to other series from the hinterlands of Přemyslid centres, Střešovice shows above-average diet quality.
