The intention of the Roman administration to develop the Lower Germanic limes region into a military zone must have been a catalyst for (long-distance) human and faunal mobility in the course of the 1st century CE. A triple isotope approach (Sr-O-C) has been used on a total of 21 cremations (bone and pars petrosa) and 21 inhumations (dental elements) from the Dutch Lower Germanic limes borderscape region to study the demographic dynamics between 150 and 500 CE. The dental enamel ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr range from 0.7086 to 0.7158. The variability in Sr within the cremated remains is more limited: 0.7089 to 0.7103. The δ¹⁸O_PDB data range from −7.6 ‰ to −4.3 ‰. All but one individual dating to the Early and Middle Roman period exhibit Sr ratios that are consistent with the expected local (0.7088–0.7092) or regional (up to ± 0.7110) ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr signature. The population dynamics drastically change in the subsequent Late Roman period. Fifty percent (6/12) of the investigated Late Roman population (partially) spent part of their childhood away from the Dutch river system or even the Batavian civitas. The cremated long bone ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr possibly point towards residential stability during the last few years of life: all data are compatible with the expected regional Sr signature. The δ¹³C_PDB data vary between −16.0 ‰ and −8.7 ‰: the latter was indicative of a diet rich in C₄ food, which was not a staple in the Roman diet in the Lower Germanic limes region. Although more research is essential to better understand the population dynamics in the limes borderscape, it is clear that the isotope data reflect the political-military status of the Lower Germanic limes region, especially during the transition to a militarized zone in the later Roman period. Identifying possible regions of provenance is a challenge. Another proxy for provenance, namely the cultural artefacts associated with the excavated people, did not show a specific relationship between cultural background and geographical origin.

罗马政府将下日耳曼地区发展为军事区的意图一定是在公元 1 世纪期间促进（长距离）人类和动物流动的催化剂。三同位素方法 (Sr-OC) 已用于荷兰下日耳曼石灰边界地区的总共 21 具火葬（骨头和岩部）和 21 具尸体（牙科元素），以研究 公元 150 年至 500 年间的人口动态。牙釉质⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr 的范围从 0.7086 到 0.7158。火化遗骸中 Sr 的变化更为有限：0.7089 至 0.7103。δ ¹⁸ O _PDB _数据范围从 -7.6 ‰ 到 -4.3 ‰。除了一个可以追溯到罗马早期和中古时期的个体外，其他所有个体的 Sr 比率都与预期的本地 (0.7088–0.7092) 或区域 (高达 ± 0.7110) ⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr 特征一致。在随后的罗马晚期，人口动态发生了巨大变化。百分之五十（6/12）的被调查的晚期罗马人口（部分）在他们童年的一部分时间里远离荷兰河流系统甚至巴达维亚文明。火化的长骨⁸⁷ Sr/ ⁸⁶ Sr 可能指向生命最后几年的居住稳定性：所有数据都与预期的区域 Sr 特征相符。δ ¹³ C __PDB数据在 -16.0 ‰ 和 -8.7 ‰ 之间变化：后者表明饮食富含 C ₄食物，这不是下日耳曼酸橙地区罗马饮食的主食。虽然更多的研究对于更好地了解石灰边界景观中的人口动态至关重要，但很明显，同位素数据反映了下日耳曼石灰地区的政治军事地位，特别是在罗马后期向军事化地区的过渡期间。确定可能的起源区域是一项挑战。出处的另一个代表，即与出土人相关的文化文物，没有显示文化背景和地理起源之间的特定关系。
