The present study focuses on the living conditions and mobility of individuals buried in MünchenPerlach at around 500 AD, using archaeological, morphological and archaeometric methods. The sex, age at death, and body height of each individual were ascertained with the aid of morphological examination techniques. The skeletal series is characterised by a balanced sex distribution and a surprisingly high life expectancy for Merovingian times. Compared to the contemporary, (possibly) high status collectives Unterhaching and Burgweinting the morphological stress markers cribra orbitalia and enamel hypoplasia suggest slightly less favourable living conditions for the MünchenPerlach individuals. However, it has to be stressed that further research and more comparative studies are needed to interpret these results. The isotopic analyses of strontium ratios of the tooth enamel of 29 individuals from the MünchenPerlach cemetery suggest that at least four individuals did not grow up in the region. The strontium signatures of these four people indicate that they consumed food from a granite or volcanic geologic substrate in their childhood, which identifies them as foreign to the region where they were buried.
