High-resolution isotopic evidence of specialised cattle herding in the European Neolithic

The location of Arbon Bleiche 3 (white star) in Central Europe with major bedrock units [17, 18] in a 30 km perimeter. The baseline sampling for bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr determination (black dots; SI section III) covered all geological units in this area, with some samples also collected outside the mapped circle (cf. S2 Table). The 87Sr/86Sr ranges are as follows: Quaternary (0.7086–0.7104, n = 8), Upper Freshwater Molasse (0.7082–0.7091, n = 4), Upper Marine Molasse (0.7084–0.7094, n = 2), Lower Freshwater Molasse (0.7084–0.7118, n = 6), Lower Marine Molasse (0.7082, n = 1), Cretaceous (0.7077–0.7085, n = 5).
