The Yamnaya expansions from the western steppe into Europe and Asia during Early Bronze Age (~3000 BCE) are believed to have brought with them Indo-European languages possibly horse husbandry. We analyzed 74 ancient whole-genome sequences across Inner Anatolia show that Botai people associated earliest husbandry derived a hunter-gatherer population deeply diverged Yamnaya. Our results also suggest distinct migrations bringing West Eurasian ancestry South before after, but not at time of,...
Abstract Analysis of stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes (δ 15 N δ 13 C) from subadults adults allows for assessment age‐related dietary changes, including breastfeeding weaning, adoption an adult diet. In one the first studies hunter‐fisher‐gatherer Eurasia, three Neolithic (8,800‐5,200 calBP) mortuary sites southwestern Siberia are analyzed to evaluate hypothesized differences in weaning age between Early versus Late groups. An intra‐individual sampling methodology is used compare bone...
Abstract This evaluation of musculoskeletal stress markers (MSMs) in the Cis‐Baikal focuses on upper limb activity reconstruction among region's middle Holocene foragers, particularly as it pertains to adaptation and cultural change. The five cemetery populations investigated represent two discrete groups separated by an 800–1,000 year hiatus: Early Neolithic (8000–7000/6800 cal. BP) Kitoi culture Late Neolithic/Bronze Age (6000/5800–4000 Isakovo‐Serovo‐Glaskovo (ISG) complex. Twenty‐four...
Significance The majority of viral genomic sequences available today are fewer than 50 years old. Parvovirus B19 (B19V) is a ubiquitous human pathogen causing fifth disease in children, as well other conditions. By isolating B19V DNA from remains between ∼0.5 and 6.9 thousand old, we show that has been associated with humans for thousands years, which significantly longer previously thought. We also the virus evolving at rate an order magnitude lower estimated previously. Access to isolated...
Abstract This examination of osteoarthritis in Siberia's Cis‐Baikal region focuses on the reconstruction mid‐Holocene mobility and activity patterns with particular interest an alleged fifth millennium BC biocultural hiatus. Five cemetery populations—–two representing pre‐hiatus Kitoi culture (6800–4900 BC) three post‐hiatus Serovo‐Glaskovo (4200–1000 BC)—are considered. The objective is to investigate osteoarthritic prevalence distribution (patterning) within among these populations order...
Thirty-three paired accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates on human and terrestrial faunal remains from the same Neolithic Early Bronze Age graves are used to develop a correction for freshwater reservoir effect (FRE) at Lake Baikal, Siberia. Excluding two outliers, stable nitrogen isotope (δ 15 N) values show positive correlation (r 2 = 0.672, p < 0.000) with offsets in 14 C yr between fauna determinations. The highest offset observed our data set is 622 yr, which close...
Abstract Lower limb entheseal changes are evaluated in order to reconstruct activity levels and more fully understand cultural behavioral variation among the middle Holocene (ca. 9,000–3,000 years BP) foragers of Siberia's Cis‐Baikal region. The four cemetery samples examined span a period diachronic change characterized by an 800‐ 1,000‐year discontinuity use formal cemeteries Two represent early Neolithic Kitoi culture, dating from 8,000 7,000/6800 cal. BP; other two late Neolithic‐early...
A program of paired dating human and faunal remains on a sample 11 prehistoric (Mesolithic/Neolithic to Early Bronze Age) graves in the Upper Lena basin, southeast Siberia, was initiated investigate freshwater reservoir effect (FRE). The results show presence substantial but highly variable offset, ranging from 255 1010 14 C yr. In contrast previous studies centered Lake Baikal Angara River, stable nitrogen isotope values little or no correlation with radiocarbon despite clear trophic...
