Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to what extent it was linked humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes found that all dogs share a common ancestry distinct from present-day wolves, with limited gene flow wolves since domestication substantial dog-to-wolf flow. By 11,000 years ago, at least five major lineages had diversified, demonstrating deep genetic of during Paleolithic. Coanalysis human reveals aspects mirror humans,...
How cow genomes have moo-ved Cattle were domesticated ∼10,000 years ago, but analysis of modern breeds has not elucidated their origins. Verdugo et al. performed genome-wide 67 ancient Near Eastern Bos taurus DNA samples. Several populations aurochs progenitors domestic cows. These genetic lineages mixed ∼4000 ago in a region around the Indus Valley. Interestingly, mitochondrial indicated that material likely derived from arid-adapted indicus (zebu) bulls was introduced by introgression....
The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are incompletely understood; to address this, we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled across Eurasia. Genomes Central Türkiye ~8000 BCE genetically proximal the but do not fully explain ancestry later populations, suggesting a mosaic wild ancestries. Genomic signatures indicate selection by herders for pigmentation patterns, hornedness, growth rate. Although first European flocks derive Türkiye, in...
Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by ∼10,500 y before the present (BP) in Near East, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) suggests pigs arrived Europe alongside farmers ∼8,500 BP. A few thousand years after introduction of Eastern into Europe, however, their characteristic mtDNA signature disappeared was replaced haplotypes associated with European wild boars. This turnover could be accounted for substantial gene flow from local boars, although it is also possible...
Occupied between ~10,300 and 9300 years ago, the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Aşıklı Höyük in Central Anatolia went through early phases sheep domestication. Analysis 629 mitochondrial genomes from this numerous sites Anatolia, southwest Asia, Europe, Africa produced a phylogenetic tree with excessive coalescences (nodes) around Neolithic, potential signature domestication bottleneck. This is consistent archeological evidence management at which transitioned residential stabling to open...
The pronounced growth in livestock populations since the 1950s has altered epidemiological and evolutionary trajectory of their associated pathogens. For example, Marek's disease virus (MDV), which causes lymphoid tumors chickens, experienced a marked increase virulence over past century. Today, MDV infections kill >90% unvaccinated birds, controlling it costs more than US$1 billion annually. By sequencing genomes derived from archeological we demonstrate that been circulating for at least...
A newly discovered network of later Bronze Age fortified sites unusually large size are discussed, with a primary focus on results excavations at the site Gradište Iđoš. Closely associated rivers Mureš, Tisza, and Danube, these located in southeast Carpathian Basin central Europe. On current evidence, main period construction occupation took place between 1400–1100 b.c., probably constituting successor communities tell-centred societies Middle Age. Geophysical survey excavation from Iđoš,...

Interpretations of prehistoric enclosures worldwide have varied from those that see the primary role as defensive features to others explore symbolic, ritual, social, and ideological dimensions separating space into an inside, outside, in-between. Such evidence interpretative accounts are inevitably linked wider anthropological discussions on modes social interaction reproduction in past, whether altruistic or predatory, evolutionary narratives regarding changes level intergroup violence...
Abstract This article presents a series of recommendations for the publication archaeological data, to improve their usability. These 12 were formulated by data experts who mined thousands publications different types (including funerary practices, accelerator mass spectrometry dating, stable isotopes, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany and pathologies) during initial construction Big Interdisciplinary Archaeological Database (BIAD). We also include harmonisation vocabularies utilised integration...
A recent study from Central Europe has changed our perception of the cat's domestication history. The authors discuss how this led to development an interdisciplinary project combining palaeogenetics, zooarchaeology and radiocarbon dating, with aim providing insight into domestic expansion beyond Mediterranean.
In analyses of material recovered from archaeological sites, a dichotomy often exists between ‘specialist’ and ‘archaeological’ studies. This is especially noticeable in the case faunal remains bone artefacts. Bone artefacts are sometimes treated separately fauna with emphasis on typological data, or they can be left within only remark ‘other taphonomic traces’, thereby overlooking technological features these However, industry provides excellent insight into choices regarding raw...
Late Neolithic Vinča communities, spread over much of central and northern Balkans during the late sixth to mid-fifth millennium BC characterised by unusually large densely population centres, would have required highly organised food production systems. Zooarchaeological analysis indicates that domesticate livestock were herded, but little is known about seasonal husbandry practices helped ensure a steady supply animal products farming communities. Here, we present new stable carbon (δ13C)...

This article discusses recent findings from the newly identified archaeological site of Svinjarička Čuka, situated next to Southern Morava River in southern Serbia. We will present latest results excavation, material studies, bioarchaeological analyses and contextualised radiocarbon data, focusing on Starčevo Neolithic horizon within context new NEOTECH project.

Abstract Bird bones were rarely used for production of artifacts, due to various reasons—they much smaller and thinner than mammals usually selected tool production; they also have specific shapes fine structure, inadequate the majority common artifact types. They occasionally some objects, such as flutes, pipes, needle cases, amulets. When it comes Eneolithic Early Bronze Age periods in south‐eastern Europe, bird bone artifacts are rare; only few been discovered thus far. In this paper, we...
Abstract This paper aims to present the first evidence of animal diseases from Central Balkan Eneolithic, a prehistoric period that lasted about 2000 years. The eponymous site Bubanj in south‐eastern Serbia provided diachronic perspective on pathologies developing during this long time period. We analyzed 71 remains showing pathological changes. All exhibiting anomalies were subjected macroscopic analysis, while specimens with most prominent alterations also underwent X‐ray and CT imaging....
The excavations at SvinjariÄka Äuka in the South Morava Valley Serbia are presented with new primary data from field and related material scientific analyses. Newly recovered architectural remains classical StarÄevo period revealed a variety of domestic features, so far belonging to an earlier later occupation phase river terrace dating between 5700/5600 5500 BC. Details stratigraphy certain materials for selected contexts, including one potential âStarÄevo houseâ. Archaeological...
On the eastern slope of Slog Hill in Ravna, some 400 m to west Roman fortification Timacum Minus, a multilayered necropolis was investigated from 1994 1996 and 2013 2015. There are two main horizons - Late Early Medieval. The late has three phases dated middle 4th 5th century. early medieval necropolis, according new excavations, phases, earlier 8th 9th centuries later end beginning 11th An interesting grave (G 159), belonging phase discovered 2014.
