Genetic relatedness, social status and cemetery organisation
Archaeologists are increasingly integrating the analysis of ancient DNA into cemetery studies; however, while such efforts highlight relatedness and descent, biological kinship forms only one aspect of social organisation in human societies. Here, the authors demonstrate this using the Tamir necropolis in Mongolia (100 BC–AD 100) as a case study. Employing a pipeline that combines linear discriminant analysis, machine-learning classifiers and cul…
Middle Neolithic Subsistence Strategies in Southwest Germany

Animal Husbandry, Cultural Change, and Economic Networks
In the 2 nd century bce , with the Iron Age Oppida Civilisation, Central Europe experienced an unprecedented degree of urbanization, economic centralization, and supra‐regional exchange. However, from 80 bce onwards, in the Northern Alpine Foreland (present‐day southern Germany), these structures declined, leading to the abandonment of both urban and rural settlements. Various factors, such as landscape overexploitation and military conflicts, ha…
Osteoarchaeological Perspectives on Socioeconomic Changes in European Iron Age Societies
Across many regions of Europe, the Iron Age represented a period of significant cultural, economic, and social change. New systems of agricultural production emerged, extensive exchange networks were established, and in several areas, such as Central Europe, Middle Italy, and parts of the Iberian Peninsula, a pronounced political and economic centralization became evident. One of the crucial innovations of this period was the emergence of highly …
Ancient DNA refines taxonomic classification of Roman equids north of the Alps, elaborated with osteomorphology and geometric morphometrics
Hybrids of horse and donkey, which have been valued in the Mediterranean basin since the Iron Age, became integrated into the animal world north of the Alps in the course of Romanization. Until now, however, their true contribution to the economic and military life in the northern Roman provinces Raetia, Noricum and Upper Pannonia (southern Germany, eastern Switzerland and Austria) has remained unknown in the absence of robust identification meth…
The biometry of prehistoric Alpine sheep
Sheep were vital to Alpine subsistence strategies during the Neolithic as well as the Bronze and Iron Ages. The present study deals with the question of phenotypic alterations in Alpine sheep during these 4500 years of prehistoric Alpine livestock farming. It furthermore addresses the issue of to what extent morphological developments were triggered by processes of economic, cultural or ecological change. To answer these questions, bone measureme…
Wool sheep and purple snails-Long-term continuity of animal exploitation in ancient Meninx (Jerba/Tunisia)
Archaeological research at the ancient city of Meninx in Jerba, Tunisia, carried out by the Institut National du Patrimoine Tunisie and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) produced more than 10,000 faunal specimens and shed light on subsistence activities spanning from the fourth century BCE until the seventh century CE. Despite its highly diverse fauna totalling at least 69 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and molluscs, domesti…
Archaeology and Zooarchaeology of the Late Iron Age-Roman Transition in the Province of Raetia (100 bc –100 ad)
The incorporation of the region north of the Alpine divide and its foreland into the Imperium Romanum initiated major changes in economic and social structure and in everyday life in the newly-founded province of Raetia. Controversy exists, however, about the continuity of local La Tène traditions into early Roman times, since the archaeological evidence recorded to date tends to give the impression that the northern Alpine foreland was largely u…
