Abstract
Compact bone of the femora from two Moravian Prelangobardic sites (Vyškov and Strachotín, N 20 skeletons) of German population dated from Migration period was analysed by kontent of lead as a cultural factor and Zn and Sr from a health point of view. The Pb exposure was much lower than that from the Roman period(5,7 – 23 microgPb /g of bone in the German tribes on the north of Danube) being on average below 3 microgPb /g of bone tissue.
The societies in the Germans and the Sarmatians were less differentiated in social stratification than populations in the La Téne period.
