Grapevine cultivation at Cetamura del Chianti
Roman writers provide detailed accounts of viticulture practices in ancient Mediterranean civilisations. While records describe varieties, methods of vine management, and consumption traditions, major questions remain about how varieties were spread and whether viticulture traditions were impacted during Roman expansion. At the site of Cetamura del Chianti (Siena, Tuscany), waterlogged grape seeds from two wells dated between ca. 300 BCE and ca. …
Multifaceted analysis reveals diet and kinship of Late Pleistocene ‘Tumat Puppies’
Distinguishing early domesticates from their wild progenitors presents a significant obstacle for understanding human-mediated effects in the past. The origin of dogs is particularly controversial because potential early dog remains often lack corroborating evidence that can provide secure links between proposed dog remains and human activity. The Tumat Puppies, two permafrost-preserved Late Pleistocene canids, have been hypothesized to have been…
Is it possible to identify ancient wine production using biomolecular approaches
Chemical analysis of archaeological artefacts is used with increasing regularity to understand how wine was produced, traded, and consumed in the past and to shed light on its antiquity. Based both on an extensive review of the published literature and on new analyses, here we critically evaluate the diverse range of methodological approaches that have been used for wine identification. Overall, we conclude that currently none of the proposed che…
Tracking the history of grapevine cultivation in Georgia by combining geometric morphometrics and ancient DNA
Relative performance of two DNA extraction and library preparation methods on archaeological human teeth samples
DNA extraction and library preparation are crucial steps in any ancient DNA study. Although palaeogenomic researchers are facing a growing choice of DNA extraction and sequencing library preparation methods, how their performance varies with DNA preservation remains unclear. To help elucidate this question, we compared the performance of two common DNA extraction and Illumina library preparation methods on a set of archaeological human samples, c…
Genomic and proteomic identification of Late Holocene remains
The limits and potential of paleogenomic techniques for reconstructing grapevine domestication
Early Levallois technology and the Lower to Middle Paleolithic transition in the Southern Caucasus
An early assemblage of obsidian artifacts Levallois technology is the name for the stone knapping technique used to create tools thousands of years ago. The technique appeared in the archeological record across Eurasia 200 to 300 thousand years ago (ka) and appeared earlier in Africa. Adler et al. challenge the hypothesis that the technique's appearance in Eurasia was the result of the expansion of hominins from Africa. Levallois obsidian artifac…
