In the third millennium B.C., Indus Civilization flourished in northwest India and Pakistan. The late mature phase (2200-1900 B.C.) was characterized by long-distance exchange networks, planned urban settlements, sanitation facilities, standardized weights measures, a sphere of influence over 1,000,000 square kilometers territory. Recent paleoclimate reconstructions from Beas River Valley demonstrate hydro-climatic stress due to weakened monsoon system may have impacted centers like Harappa...
<ns3:p>Background Access to sample-level metadata is important when selecting public metagenomic sequencing datasets for reuse in new biological analyses. The Standards, Precautions, and Advances Ancient Metagenomics community (SPAAM, https://spaam-community.org) has previously published AncientMetagenomeDir, a collection of curated standardised sample tables microbial genome generated from ancient samples. However, while information useful identifying relevant samples inclusion projects,...
As one of the oldest known human diseases, leprosy or Hansen's disease remains a public health concern around world with over 200 000 new cases in 2018. Most are caused by Mycobacterium leprae , but small number now to be lepromatosis sister taxon M. . The global pattern genomic variation is not well defined. Particularly, Pacific Islands, origins disputed. Historically, it has been argued that arrived on islands during nineteenth century colonialism, some oral traditions and...
Abstract Objectives Previous research has shown that while missing data are common in bioarchaeological studies, they seldom handled using statistically rigorous methods. The primary objective of this article is to evaluate the ability imputation manage and encourage use advanced statistical methods bioarchaeology paleopathology. An overview management biological anthropology provided, followed by a test deletion for handling data. Materials Methods Missing were simulated on complete...

Human sacrifice in Mesoamerican cities was diverse, highly ritualized, and remains incompletely characterized. Knowing who selected for ritual violence is essential interpreting specialized mortuary deposits furthering research on Mexica society. To understand the structure variability of sacrificial practices, we examine here three burial contexts from Tlatelolco, a densely populated city heart Triple Alliance. The interment Paso Desnivel (n=45) Grupo Norte (n=52) had been excavated within...
