Abstract Major migration events in Holocene Eurasia have been characterized genetically at broad regional scales 1–4 . However, insights into the population dynamics contact zones are hampered by a lack of ancient genomic data sampled high spatiotemporal resolution 5–7 Here, to address this, we analysed shotgun-sequenced genomes from 100 skeletons spanning 7,300 years Mesolithic period, Neolithic period and Early Bronze Age Denmark integrated these with proxies for diet ( 13 C 15 N content),...
An abundance and diverse range of prehistoric fishing practices was revealed during excavations between 2012 2022 at the construction site Femern Belt Tunnel, linking islands Lolland (Denmark) (Germany). The waterlogged parts Syltholm Fjord yielded well preserved organic materials, including remains wooden fish traps weirs, numerous vertical stakes posts driven into former seabed – evidence long term using stationary structures from Mesolithic to Bronze Age ( c. 4700–900 cal BC). Here, we...
This paper presents a stable isotope and radiocarbon study on total of 85 samples wild boar (Sus scrofa), humans (Homo sapiens), dogs (Canis familiaris), red deer (Cervus elaphus) roe (Capreolus capreolus) from four Late Mesolithic sites in Jutland, Denmark. Four the eight Sus scrofa one site, shell midden Fannerup F, show markedly enriched carbon nitrogen values, indicating dietary intake substantial amount marine food. In contrast to standard interpretations animal economy, we suggest that...
Abstract This paper examines newly acquired and previously published carbon nitrogen isotope values in bone collagen from 58 dogs ( Canis familiaris ) dated to the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition. Using Bayesian mixing model FRUITS, we estimate marine or freshwater dietary fractions. These estimates, together with a radiocarbon‐based statistical model, have allowed us calculate reservoir age for selected Danish regions. The Ertebølle Funnel Beaker cultures display different feeding...
