Abstract Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene 1–5 . Here, to investigate cross-continental effects of these migrations, we shotgun-sequenced 317 genomes—mainly from Mesolithic and Neolithic periods—from across northern western Eurasia. These were imputed alongside published data obtain diploid genotypes more than 1,600 ancient humans. Our analyses revealed a ‘great divide’ genomic boundary extending Black Sea Baltic. hunter-gatherers highly...
Abstract Major migration events in Holocene Eurasia have been characterized genetically at broad regional scales 1–4 . However, insights into the population dynamics contact zones are hampered by a lack of ancient genomic data sampled high spatiotemporal resolution 5–7 Here, to address this, we analysed shotgun-sequenced genomes from 100 skeletons spanning 7,300 years Mesolithic period, Neolithic period and Early Bronze Age Denmark integrated these with proxies for diet ( 13 C 15 N content),...
Summary Western Eurasia witnessed several large-scale human migrations during the Holocene 1–5 . To investigate cross-continental impacts we shotgun-sequenced 317 primarily Mesolithic and Neolithic genomes from across Northern Eurasia. These were imputed alongside published data to obtain diploid genotypes >1,600 ancient humans. Our analyses revealed a ‘Great Divide’ genomic boundary extending Black Sea Baltic. hunter-gatherers (HGs) highly genetically differentiated east west of this...
Summary Today, Germanic languages, including German, English, Frisian, Dutch and the Nordic are widely spoken in northwest Europe. However, key aspects of assumed arrival diversification this linguistic group remain contentious 1–3 . By adding 712 new ancient human genomes we find an archaeologically elusive population entering Sweden from Baltic region by around 4000 BP. This became widespread throughout Scandinavia 3500 BP, matching contemporaneous distribution Palaeo-Germanic, Bronze Age...
In 2004 excavations at the Barbar Temple dating to c. 2000 BC established that function of southeastern subterranean channel connected temple pool was supply with water and not divert away from pool. North west oval terrace wall its third phase located. centre Northeast remains a shaft‐stairway leading down well‐chamber uncovered shown be furnished two channels into chamber. South house late pottery excavated. Two stamp seals seal‐impressed tokens were found.
The Koelbjerg individual, dated c. 8500 cal BC, represents the earliest human skeletal remains described from Scandinavia. Based on ancient DNA, strontium isotope and statistical anthropological analyses individual’s sex, haplogroup geographical provenance are here analysed discussed. In contrast to previous claims, our genetic show that this individual was a male. Additionally, ratio of one his first molars indicates he most likely grew up locally.

The influx of prestigious foreign objects into Southern Scandinavia throughout the Iron Age and Viking is well-documented. For example, Roman or Frankish luxury would find their way north via trade through dynastic gift exchanges as part a conspicuous elite culture.
 Access to crucial raw materials has in many ways been formative for both prehistoric historic societies. availability – lack thereof specific resources could determine technological developments, need nonlocal shape...
