The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and Southwest Asia, as well processes timing their differentiation, remain largely unknown. Demogenomic modeling high-quality ancient genomes reveals that early farmers Anatolia emerged from a multiphase mixing Asian population with strongly bottlenecked western hunter-gatherer after last glacial maximum. Moreover, ancestors went through period extreme drift during westward range expansion, contributing highly...
Community differentiation is a fundamental topic of the social sciences, and its prehistoric origins in Europe are typically assumed to lie among complex, densely populated societies that developed millennia after their Neolithic predecessors. Here we present earliest, statistically significant evidence for such first farmers Europe. By using strontium isotopic data from more than 300 early human skeletons, find significantly less variance geographic signatures males females, burials with...
Some burial rituals such as cremation or the use of colorants, especially ochre, have old roots in preceding Mesolithic and even Palaeolithic. The evidence for these is more dense central western Europe than south east Europe, whence most new Neo- lithic ideas came. Among personal adornments a small amount snail-shell ornaments, stag tusks, tusks wild boar pendants made from antler are special interest. People wearing very traditional, generally equipped with precious ‘new’ things Spondylus,...
<title>Abstract</title> Stable isotope signatures of domesticates found on archaeology sites provide information about past human behaviour, such as the evolution and adaptation husbandry strategies. A dynamic phase in cattle is during 6th millennium BCE, where first herders central Europe spread rapidly through diverse forested ecological niches, little known pasturing Here we investigate foddering practices using a multi-regional dataset stable values (δ13C δ18O; compound-specific isotopic...
In this article we present first information on results of analyses the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) graveyard Kleinhadersdorf carried out in recent years. First, briefly excavations and main characteristics burials. Analyses C-, N- Sr- isotopes, executed with- a large-scale international project, showed that most people were born lived area gathered food nearby. Only three individuals came from geologically different region, i.e. gneiss-granite zone Bohemian massif. Adzes some quern stones also...
After a short overview of LBK burial rites, I propose definition empty graves, dis- tinguishing them from cenotaphs. Until now, graves have been found only in twelve graveyards, comprising an average 10.2% within these cemeteries, which seem to cluster some regions and be absent others, might due part bad soil conditions for preserving skeletons. The proportion the graveyards varies considerably is highest Lower Austria/Moravia Bavaria. Some 53% yielded no finds, 45% ceramic remains 10%...
Abstract The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations, as well processes and timing their differentiation, remain largely unknown. Based on demogenomic modeling high-quality ancient genomes, we show that early farmers Anatolia Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing Near Eastern population with strongly bottlenecked Western hunter-gatherer after Last Glacial Maximum. Moreover, branch leading to is characterized by 2,500-year period extreme drift during its westward...
Abstract During the sixth millennium bce , first farmers of Central Europe rapidly expanded across a varied mosaic forested environments. Such environments would have offered important sources mineral-rich animal feed and shelter, prompting question: to what extent did early exploit forests raise their herds? Here, resolve this, we assembled multi-regional datasets, comprising bulk compound-specific stable isotope values from zooarchaeological remains pottery, conducted cross-correlation...
The “Earliest Linear Pottery-Culture” (LPC I) is to be seen as a synonym for the beginning Neolithic in Central Europe and therefore also Austria. distribution of this culture was limited by several facts natural environment, its economic base agriculture stockbreeding. Traces are only found through Austrian territory outside Alps altitudes up 400/450 m, on best arable soils (mainly loess base) driest warmest climatic zones with clearly defined limit tolerance. In last two decades...
