The conclusions come from analysis of different forms of the elements oxygen and strontium in his tooth enamel.Yeah, maybe ...
The face that a person buried in the Mediterranean basin somewhere had such-and-such in his teeth does not prove that people who lived and died in other areas of the world did not also have such-and-such in their teeth.
The amber necklace clearly indicates trade with continental Europe, but the origin of the person is a lot of guesswork.

The isotopes of various elements in his teeth demonstrate where he lived and what he ate.
Archaeologists as well as forensic scientists have been doing this stuff for many years.
