Abstract Little is known about the genetic prehistory of Sardinia because scarcity pre-Neolithic human remains. From a perspective, modern Sardinians are as outliers in Europe, showing unusually high levels internal diversity and close relationship to early European Neolithic farmers. However, how far this peculiar structure extends it originated was date impossible test. Here we present first oldest complete mitochondrial sequences from Sardinia, dated back 10,000 yBP. These two...
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass in which nanocrystalline and microcrystalline phases can coexist with the glassy one. In this paper, magnetic properties of Monte Arci obsidians are investigated by an experimental approach commonly applied to synthetic nanostructured materials rarely ones, correlated mineralogical composition microstructure. Among different crystalline phases, iron-containing components found be responsible for great variety behaviors, including paramagnetism,...
Abstract Ring-shaped objects, used mainly as bracelets, appear in the archaeological record associated with first farming societies around Mediterranean area. These among other personal ornaments, are related to spread of economy (10th–6th millennium BC). In particular, stone given their intricate technology, linked early stages craft specialization and beginnings complex social organization. Likewise, frequency Early Neolithic assemblages lithologies which they were made have become an...
This research deals with the modes of chert exploitation in Sardinia during Neolithic, combining information on major sources identified across island technological analysis several stratigraphic reliable series. It focuses changes raw material selection and evolution behaviours between 6th 4th millennium BCE. The data collected this work allowed us either to shed a light role lithic resource played production systems Neolithic communities Sardinia, catch differences procurement, depending...
