By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in Southeastern Europe West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize Chalcolithic period Bronze Age (about 5000 to 1000 BCE), when extensive gene flow entangled it with Eurasian steppe. Two streams of migration transmitted Caucasus Anatolian/Levantine ancestry northward, Yamnaya pastoralists, formed on steppe, then spread southward into Balkans across Armenia, where they left numerous patrilineal...
Literary and archaeological sources have preserved a rich history of Southern Europe West Asia since the Bronze Age that can be complemented by genetics. Mycenaean period elites in Greece did not differ from general population included both people with some steppe ancestry others, like Griffin Warrior, without it. Similarly, central area Urartian Kingdom around Lake Van lacked characteristic kingdom's northern provinces. Anatolia exhibited extraordinary continuity down to Roman Byzantine...
We present the first ancient DNA data from Pre-Pottery Neolithic of Mesopotamia (Southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq), Cyprus, Northwestern Zagros, along with Armenia. show that these neighboring populations were formed through admixture pre-Neolithic sources related to Anatolian, Caucasus, Levantine hunter-gatherers, forming a continuum ancestry mirroring geography West Asia. By analyzing Pottery Anatolia, we former derived between Mesopotamian-related local Epipaleolithic-related...
Abstract The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were the first to spread farming across large parts of central Europe, settling fertile regions from Ukraine France during second half 6th millennium BCE. LBK had a high degree material culture uniformity, albeit with regional differences in settlement patterns, subsistence, and mortuary practices. To date, ancient DNA data individuals have been generated for limited number locations often small sample sizes, making it challenging...
This paper presents the first results of pollen analysis at eponymous archaeological site Sopot.Cultural layers have been examined for presence grains and spores as well other palynomorphs.The palynological cultural layer provides significant data on phytopathogens that had an influence Neolithic agriculture.
Congenital anomalies develop during intrauterine development. They can occur in soft tissues as well skeletal elements and vary from minor to life threatening. In this paper we present a case of an individual the Neolithic site Vinka, Croatia. This adult male exhibited multiple congenital on cranial postcranial skeleton. These include several rib right side: hyperplasia third rib, bifid fourth flaring eighth rib. Additionally, lambdoid ossicles, parastyle second maxillary molar supracondylar...
This paper presents archaeobotanical data from three late Neolithic Sopot Culture (c. 5200–4000 cal BC) tell sites, Sopot, Slavča and Ravnjaš, located in eastern Croatia. Tell settlements are well suited for exploring aspects of diet subsistence, as they present a concentrated area with successive generations building upon previous occupation levels. The plant remains the study sites suggest crop-based mainly einkorn, emmer, barley, lentil pea, evidence crop-processing activities. was also...
