Anotace: The paper is devoted to the application of strontium isotope analysis to investigate samples from

an 18th century burial ground in Semonice, northeastern Bohemia. The circumstances of the burial
ground’s origins as well as the origins of the deceased could not unambiguously be determined with the
help of archaeological and anthropological methods. However, the results of isotope analysis helped to
answer both questions. When these are supplemented with the testimony of written sources, it is even
possible to specify the time of the burial ground’s establishment.
