The North Pontic region, which encompasses present-day Ukraine, was a crossroads of migration, connecting the vast Eurasian Steppe with Central Europe. We generated shotgun-sequenced genomic data for 91 individuals dating from around 7000 BCE to 1800 CE study migration and mobility history in particular focus on historically attested migrating groups during Iron Age medieval period. infer high degree temporal heterogeneity ancestry, fluctuating genetic affinities different groups. also...
Abstract The Chernyakhov culture existed in the Eastern Europe second third of 3rd to early 5th century AD. Its dominant population group was that Goths.
