A Healed Arrowhead Injury in a Celtic Elite Burial Near the Heuneburg, Germany
Utilizing imaging techniques opens new avenues for diagnosing paleopathological findings in archaeological human skeletal remains. This study presents a case of severe perforating trauma on the left ischial bone of an adult male Celtic elite burial from the late Hallstatt period, discovered within the central chamber of a burial mound near the Heuneburg hilltop settlement in southwest Germany. Despite the gravity of the injury, evidence of comple…
New temporal dimensions of the Linearbandkeramik cemetery horizon in Schwetzingen (Germany)
Cemeteries of the Early Neolithic Linearbandkeramik culture (LBK, 5500-4900 BC) evoke a sense of emerging permanence of place as agricultural subsistence spread westward through Central Europe. Yet assumptions about the sequence of senescence and longevity of cemetery use are based on limited data. Here, the authors challenge the view that cemetery burial was a long-lasting Neolithic practice, modelling 50 new radiocarbon dates from the cemetery …
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 …
Evidence for dynastic succession among early Celtic elites in Central Europe
The early Iron Age (800 to 450 BCE) in France, Germany and Switzerland, known as the ‘West-Hallstattkreis’, stands out as featuring the earliest evidence for supra-regional organization north of the Alps. Often referred to as ‘early Celtic’, suggesting tentative connections to later cultural phenomena, its societal and population structure remain enigmatic. Here we present genomic and isotope data from 31 individuals from this context in southern…
Estimating inter-individual Mahalanobis distances from mixed incomplete high-dimensional data
Socio-cultural practices may have affected sex differences in stature in Early Neolithic Europe
The genomic history of southeastern Europe
Reconstructing the Deep Population History of Central and South America
We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 49 individuals forming four parallel time transects in Belize, Brazil, the Central Andes, and the Southern Cone, each dating to at least ∼9,000 years ago. The common ancestral population radiated rapidly from just one of the two early branches that contributed to Native Americans today. We document two previously unappreciated streams of gene flow between North and South America. One affected the Central And…
Neanderthal behaviour, diet, and disease inferred from ancient DNA in dental calculus
Pleistocene Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest a Single Major Dispersal of Non-Africans and a Late Glacial Population Turnover in Europe
Massive migration from the steppe was a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
Ancient human genomes suggest three ancestral populations for present-day Europeans
Community differentiation and kinship among Europe’s first farmers
Community differentiation is a fundamental topic of the social sciences, and its prehistoric origins in Europe are typically assumed to lie among the complex, densely populated societies that developed millennia after their Neolithic predecessors. Here we present the earliest, statistically significant evidence for such differentiation among the first farmers of Neolithic Europe. By using strontium isotopic data from more than 300 early Neolithic…
