Ancient DNA research in the past decade has revealed that European population structure changed dramatically prehistoric period (14,000–3000 years before present, YBP), reflecting widespread introduction of Neolithic farmer and Bronze Age Steppe ancestries. However, little is known about how from historical onward (3000 YBP - present). To address this, we collected whole genomes 204 individuals Europe Mediterranean, many which are first their region (e.g. Armenia France). We found most...
Ancient DNA traces the history of hepatitis B Hepatitis virus (HBV) infections represent a worldwide human health concern. To study this pathogen, Kocher et al . identified 137 remains with detectable levels dating between 400 and 10,000 years ago. Sequencing analyses these ancient viruses suggested common ancestor 12,000 20,000 There is no evidence indicating that HBV was present in earliest humans as they spread out Africa; however, likely populations before farming. Furthermore, Americas...
The Black Death pandemic (1346-53) has caused a 30-50% population decline across Europe. For the city of Erfurt in Thuringia, substantial human losses and corresponding mass graves are well-documented historical archives. aim our study is to localize these deserted village Neuses order validate written sources obtain skeletal remains for future anthropological archeogenetic analyses. Here we present integrative approach research minimally-invasive pedostratigraphical geophysical prospection....

Abstract With the beginning of Early Bronze Age in Central Europe ~ 2200 BC, a regional and supra-regional hierarchical social organization emerged with few individuals positions power (chiefs), set apart by rich graves extensive burial constructions. However, stratification within majority people, who represent non-elite, remain unclear. Here, we present genome-wide data 46 from ground Leubingen today’s Germany, integrating archaeological, genetic strontium isotope to gain new insights into...
Abstract In 2009 and 2010, a rescue excavation at Nitra‐Selenec II (Slovakia) was carried out by the Institute of Archaeology Slovak Academy Sciences. A medieval cemetery dated to end 11th century discovered, yielding 72 individuals, including skeleton young female manifesting skeletal changes consistent with leprosy. The lesions rhino‐maxillary syndrome ( facies leprosa ) were observed together atrophied/tapered metatarsal bones “licked candy” appearance. addition, cribra orbitalia , cranii...
This paper presents results of palaeopathological investigations carried out on a total 133 cremation burials from the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman Imperial Period Germany, Czech Slovak Republics Turkey. With fragments 118 skulls in total, aim was to document, diagnose examine pathological conditions as completely extensively possible. These were investigated macromorphologically then further examined radiologically, scanning electron microscopically light order create methodological basis...
In the hilly region of Solling in Central Germany, a large number abandoned medieval settlements is known. an excavation project church ruin and cemetery village Winnefeld from 12th to 14th century CE, 165 individuals were excavated anthropologically examined, including light microscopic investigation. Among these individuals, 105 subadults identified, age-at-death pre-natal (stillborn) infants, up juveniles, with majority infants two years age-at-death. subadults, scurvy was frequently...
