Scandinavia was one of the last geographic areas in Europe to become habitable for humans after Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, routes and genetic composition these postglacial migrants remain unclear. We sequenced genomes, up 57× coverage, seven hunter-gatherers excavated across dated from 9,500–6,000 years before present (BP). Surprisingly, among Scandinavian Mesolithic individuals, data display an east–west gradient that opposes pattern seen other parts Europe. Our results suggest...
Paleogenomic and archaeological studies show that Neolithic lifeways spread from the Fertile Crescent into Europe around 9000 BCE, reaching northwestern by 4000 BCE. Starting 4500 a new phenomenon of constructing megalithic monuments, particularly for funerary practices, emerged along Atlantic façade. While it has been suggested emergence megaliths was associated with territories farming communities, origin social structure groups erected them remained largely unknown. We generated genome...
In the period between 5,300 and 4,900 calibrated years before present (cal. BP), populations across large parts of Europe underwent a demographic decline
The Neolithic period is characterized by major cultural transformations and human migrations, with lasting effects across Europe. To understand the population dynamics in Scandinavia Baltic Sea area, we investigate genomes of individuals associated Battle Axe Culture (BAC), a Middle complex resembling continental Corded Ware (CWC). We sequenced 11 (dated to 3330–1665 calibrated before common era (cal BCE)) from modern-day Sweden, Estonia, Poland 0.26–3.24× coverage. Three were CWC contexts...
Abstract In this paper, we investigate population dynamics in the Scandinavian Neolithic and Early Bronze Age southwestern Sweden. Human mobility patterns Falbygden were studied by applying strontium isotope analysis combined with archaeological bioarchaeological data, including mtDNA sex assessment on a large dataset encompassing 141 individuals from 21 megalithic graves. combination other anthropological records, investigated temporal spatial scale of individual movement, specific...
Abstract With the Neolithic transition, human lifestyle shifted from hunting and gathering to farming. This change altered subsistence patterns, cultural expression, population structures as shown by archaeological/zooarchaeological record, well stable isotope ancient DNA data. Here, we used metagenomic data analyse if transitions also impacted microbiome composition in 25 Mesolithic hunter-gatherers 13 farmers several Scandinavian Stone Age contexts. Salmonella enterica, a bacterium that...
Abstract Scandinavia was one of the last geographic areas in Europe to become habitable for humans after glaciation. However, origin(s) first colonizers and their migration routes remain unclear. We sequenced genomes, up 57x coverage, seven hunter-gatherers excavated across dated 9,500-6,000 years before present. Surprisingly, among Scandinavian Mesolithic individuals, genetic data display an east-west gradient that opposes pattern seen other parts Europe. This result suggests initially...
Abstract In this paper, we investigate the Scandinavian Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Kinnekulle in southwestern Sweden. The above-mentioned periods study area are poorly understood archaeological record consists a few stray finds concentration 20 gallery graves. This focuses on three graves where commingled skeletons from successive burials were recovered. human remains artefacts used for discussing individual life stories as well living societies with aim gaining new knowledge...
