Concentrations of the elements Ca, Sr, Mg, Zn and Cu were determined in excavated hair specimens and adherent, most probably soil remains from two sites in Germany. Though soil contamination obviously has occurred, the two groups could be distinguished by differential trace element contents in the hair samples. The trace element concentrations might be interpreted in terms of nutritional intake, the results being corroborated by preceding bone analyses and the different local and social settings. Hair decomposition is discussed.
测定了从德国两个地点发掘出的毛发样本以及附着的、很可能是土壤残留物中钙、锶、镁、锌和铜等元素的浓度。尽管明显发生了土壤污染，但通过毛发样本中微量元素含量的差异可以区分这两组。微量元素浓度可以从营养摄入的角度进行解释，先前的骨骼分析以及不同的当地和社会环境证实了这一结果。文中还讨论了毛发分解的问题。
