A multidisciplinary investigation on the collective identity and social perspective of a medieval Islamic necropolis (eighth–tenth centuries) in Girona (modern Spain)
Family History in the Iberian Peninsula during Chalcolithic and Bronze Age
Throughout history, it has been observed that human populations have buried the deceased members of their communities following different patterns. During the Copper Age and the Bronze Age—periods on which this study focuses—in the northern sub-plateau of the Iberian Peninsula, we identified different patterns of multiple or collective burial. This work analyzes a total of 58 individuals buried in different multiple or collective graves, to inves…
A análise genética aplicada ao estudo histórico de relações de parentesco
Se, por um lado, as relações de parentesco são uma experiência humana praticamente universal, tem-se verificado que o contexto funerário associado à ideia de “Família” depende diretamente tanto do local, como da época de uma determinada sociedade. Recentemente, a análise genética começou a ser utilizada no âmbito arqueológico, principalmente para identificar relações de parentesco dentro de uma necrópole. Quanto aos contextos funerários alto-medi…
The Study of Adoption in Archaeological Human Remains
This review aims to establish criteria for identifying an adoption process in an archaeological context. We define adoption as raising an individual who does not belong genetically to the family. Adoption appears in different moments of past societies, and when establishing a “family” nucleus burial place we must consider certain social behaviors, such as burials under the houses, collective burials, or laying bodies in specific positions. After …
Hunter-gatherer genetic persistence at the onset of megalithism in western Iberia
Despite its strategic importance at the furthermost edge of the Neolithic expansion in Europe, archaeogenetic data from Mesolithic and Neolithic human remains from Portugal are still very limited. Here we present ancient mtDNA evidence (mostly unpublished) to fill the gap and discuss the pattern of “genetic resurgence” of hunter-gatherer (Mesolithic) ancestry, widely reported elsewhere in Europe, among the first megalith builders (Middle Neolithi…
How Mitochondrial DNA Can Write Pre-History
The chronological period from the beginning of the Chalcolithic Age to the end of the Bronze Age on the Iberian northern sub-plateau of the Iberic Peninsula involves interesting social and cultural phenomena, such as the appearance of the Bell Beaker and, later, the Cogotas I cultures. This work constructs a genetic characterisation of the maternal lineages of the human population that lived on the northern sub-plateau between 5000 and 3000 years…
Maternal Lineages during the Roman Empire, in the Ancient City of Gadir (Cádiz, Spain)
Phoenicians were probably the first eastern Mediterranean population to establish long-distance connections with the West, namely the Iberian Peninsula, from the final Bronze to the early Iron Age. For a long time, these colonies all over the Mediterranean Sea directly depended on an important city administration, Gadir, the most important metropolis in the Western Mediterranean. Modern archaeological excavations were discovered in Cadiz (Spain),…
The Origins of the Royal Spanish Surname Castilla
In most Western European societies, surnames pass from generation to generation and in cases where surnames are shared by fathers to children, the Y chromosome passes down from fathers to male offspring in the same way as surnames do. The aim of this study was to ascertain the patrilineal relationship between individuals with the surname “Castilla” and their respective Y-chromosome haplotypes. The toponymic surname “Castilla” is part of the Spani…
Genetics Unveil the Genealogical Ancestry and Physical Appearance of an Unknown Historical Figure
Through this study, it has been possible to establish an accurate prediction of the physical characteristics, biogeographical origin, and genealogical ancestry of a previously obscured historical figure: The Princess Lady Leonor of Castile (1256–1275), one of the legitimate daughters of the Spanish King Alfonso X “The Wise”. The genetic analysis of External Visible Characteristics in the mummified remains attributed to this Princess has allowed d…
Loneliness, Depression, and Genetics in the Elderly
Loneliness is considered a prognostic factor for poorer health status in the elderly. It is proposed to analyze the role of loneliness in health status in terms of various factors. A total of 1747 individuals from the pilot survey of the Aging in Spain Longitudinal Study (ELES-PS) were reviewed. ELES is a cross-sectional study for collecting health variables, food habits, socioeconomic data, and cognitive and functional capacities, which was carr…
Genealogy
Although biological relationships are a universal reality for all human beings, the concepts of “family” and “family bond” depend on both the geographic region and the historical moment to which they refer. However, the concept of “family” can be determinant in a large variety of societies, since it can influence the lines of succession, inheritances and social relationships, as well as where and with whom an individual is buried. The relation be…
Paleogenetic evidence of a Pyrenean Neolithic family
Kinship analysis and allelic dropout
The remains in the LTB tomb were not a traditional nuclear family (father, mother and son/daughter) and it was probably a tomb where two women, one of them pregnant, were buried
Familiar Kinship? Palaeogenetic and Isotopic Evidence from a Triple Burial of the Cogotas I Archaeological Culture (Bronze Age, Iberian Peninsula)
This paper examines the identification of kinship relations in archaeological multiple burials and advocates the application of different methods and lines of research to clarify such issues in relation to funerary practices. Recognizing family relationships – an important task in research on prehistoric societies – is especially complicated and interpretations have often been made without an adequate empirical basis. Bioarchaeological, isotopic …
The Bom Santo Cave (Lisbon, Portugal)
The study of the Bom Santo Cave (central Portugal), a Neolithic cemetery, indicates a complex social, palaeoeconomic, and population scenario. With isotope, aDNA, and provenance analyses of raw materials coupled with stylistic variability of material culture items and palaeogeographical data, light is shed on the territory and social organization of a population dated to 3800–3400 cal BC, i.e. the Middle Neolithic. Results indicate an itinerant f…
La integracion latinoamericana
El artículo «La integración latinoamericana: sueños y realidades» hace alusión a los intentos continentales por vertebrar la unidad entre los países conformantes. Parte del ideal americanista con que se forja la gesta independentista y analiza cómo posteriormente los esfuerzos balcanizadores triunfan sobre los intentos unionistas. Hoy ante el proyecto encabezado por EEUU, denominado ALCA (Alianza de Libre comercio para las Américas que excluye a …
DNA analysis in charred grains of naked wheat from several archaeological sites in Spain
Brief communication
The aim of this work was to investigate a very common situation in the archaeological and anthropological context: the study of a burial site containing several individuals, probably related genetically, using ancient DNA techniques. We used available ancient DNA and forensic protocols to obtain reliable results on archaeological material. The results also enabled molecular sex determination to be compared with osteological data. Specifically, a …
Aspartic acid racemization variability in ancient human remains
La problemática del origen de los íberos según la secuencia genética de los restos humanos
La presencia de restos humanos de personas adultas en el yacimiento ibérico del Puig de la Nau de Benicarló, ha permitido la identificación del ADNmt correspondiente, a través del cual se ha constatado la pertenencia de los individuos analizados al haplogrupo V que se encuentra actualmente en el País Vasco y en Escandinavia
Análisis genético-poblacional del yacimiento neolítico de Tell Ramad, Siria
Le phénomène de diffusion du Néolithique depuis le Proche-Orient vers l’Europe et son influence sur la néolithisation de l’Europe a été abordé par diverses disciplines. L’analyse génétique des populations humaines récentes a donné des résultats contradictoires. Tandis que la distribution et les fréquences allele des « marqueurs classiques » (groupes sanguins et protéines), et la variabilité moléculaire du chromosome Y confortent le modèle de diff…
Early population differentiation in extinct aborigines from Tierra del Fuego‐Patagonia
Ancient mtDNA was succesfully recovered from 24 skeletal samples of a total of 60 ancient individuals from Patagonia‐Tierra del Fuego, dated to 100–400 years BP, for which consistent amplifications and two‐strand sequences were obtained. Y‐chromosome STRs (DYS434, DYS437, DYS439, DYS393, DYS391, DYS390, DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, and DYS388) and the biallelic system DYS199 were also amplified, Y‐STR alleles could be characterized in nine cases, wi…
Comparison of Populations as a Function of Confidence Intervals of Gene Probability
A new method for population comparison has been developed in order to determine the most discriminating systems in relation to diverse populations. The method compares pairs of populations on the basis of confidence intervals for allelic frequencies and does not require any previous assumption, such as normality of the population. A data set of 12 populations studied for Polymarker Kit (Roche) genetic systems, 13 biallelic systems (LDLR, GYPA, D7…
Variability of Six STR Loci in Populations from Central Spain
Allele frequency distributions of six short tandem repeat (STR) loci, HUMTH01, HUMFES/FPS, HUMTPOX, HUMVWF/A31, HUMF13B, and HUMLPL, were determined in a population (101 individuals) of the Vera-Jerte region in West Central Spain. Amplified products were electrophoresed on denaturing polyacrylamide gels and silver-stained. The exact test demonstrated that none of the six loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. R-matrix analysis in relation…
