U-series analyses have been made of travertine samples from the archaeological site at Ehringsdorf-Weimar. The lower Travertine, in which hominid remains were found, yields apparent ages from >350,000 to 200,000 yr. Correlation between isotope ratios yields an age of about 230,000 yr. One sample of the upper Travertine gives and age of 111,000 ± 47,000 yr. Both upper and lower travertines contain fauna and flora indicative of interglacial conditions. The lower Travertine was deposited during isotope stage 7, while the upper Travertine may have been formed during isotope stage 5. This contradicts most earlier biostratigraphic studies which assigned both lower and upper Travertines to stages of the Eem interglaciation (correlative with isotope stage 5). The fauna and flora of the lower Travertine are significantly different from those of the upper Travertine, however, and in some respects are transitional to those of the travertines of Bilzingsleben, which appear to be older yet.

Для оценки мобильности и идентификации происхождения древних популяций требуется проводить сравнение их изотопных отношений 87Sr/86Sr с локальной базовой (фоновой) линией биодоступного стронция, характерной для каждого конкретного местонахождения или потенциального района происхождения индивида или артефакта. В данной работе на примере древнего рудника Новотемирский (Южный Урал) эпохи бронзы проведена оценка такой базовой линии. Изотопные отношения 87Sr/86Sr определены в поверхностной и подземной воде, коренной породе (серпентинит), глине из стенки шахты, кости светлого хоря, а также в траве и раковине двустворки с берега озера. Наименьшим разбросом изотопных отношений стронция друг относительно друга обладают поверхностная и подземная вода, раковина и трава, что позволяет использовать их для определения объединенной базовой линии биодоступного стронция. Мульти-прокси (поверхностная и подземная вода, травы и раковина двустворки) локальная базовая линия биодоступного стронция для района древнего рудника Новотемирский (Южный Урал) может быть представлена в виде диапазона 0,7096 ± 0,0003 (2σ, n = 5). To assess the mobility and provenance of ancient populations, it is necessary to compare their 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios with the local bioavailable strontium baseline (background), characteristic of each specific location or potential provenance region of an individual or artifact. Its definition requires a comprehensive approach to the analysis of heterogeneous samples («proxies») characterizing the ecosystem of the archaeological site under study, the identification of the most suitable proxies, as well as the unification and standardization of the sampling and analytic protocols. A pilot study is presented devoted the definition of the local range of bioavailable strontium by the example of the Novotemirskiy Bronze Age mine (Southern Urals). 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios were determined in surface and underground water, bedrock (serpentinite), clay from the mine wall, and steppe polecat's bone, as well as in grass and a bivalve shell from the lake. The lowest range of strontium isotope ratios relative to each other is characteristic of surface and groundwater, shell and grass, which allows them to be used to determine the combined baseline of bioavailable strontium. Multi-proxy (surface and underground water, grass and a bivalve shell) local bioavailable strontium baseline for the Novotemirskiy ancient mine (Southern Urals) is 0,7096 ± 0,0003 (2σ, n = 5).
