The island of Sardinia has been particular interest to geneticists for decades. current model Sardinia's genetic history describes the as harboring a founder population that was established largely from Neolithic peoples southern Europe and remained isolated later Bronze Age expansions on mainland. To evaluate this model, we generate genome-wide ancient DNA data 70 individuals 21 Sardinian archaeological sites spanning Middle through Medieval period. earliest show strong affinity western...

Among interred burials recently light, skeletal remains, sometimes two superposed bodies, are found primary position and fine anatomic connection.

Abstract Solid state electrochemistry based on the voltammetry of immobilized microparticles (VIMP) methodology is applied to a series 80 Phoenician Red Slip samples from archaeological sites Motya (Sicily, Italy), Mogador (Morocco), Ramat‐Rahel (Israel), Sulky (Sardinia, Tas Silg (Malta), Pantelleria (Italy), and Cádiz (Spain), dated 8 th 6 century BC. Upon attachment sub‐microsamples graphite electrodes in contact with aqueous H 2 SO 4 electrolyte, voltammetric features due reduction...
Abstract The prehistory of the Mediterranean region has long been a subject considerable interest, particularly links between human groups and regions origin. We utilize spatial variation in δ 2 H 18 O values precipitation (isoscapes) to develop proxies for geographic locations fauna humans. Bone collagen hydrogen isotope ratios (δ H) cattle (and lesser extent, ovicaprids) across reflect isotopic differences observed rainfall (but do not). conclude that herbivore bone can be used as...
