An integrative skeletal and paleogenomic analysis of stature variation suggests...
Marciniak, Stephanie; Bergey, Christina M.; Silva, Ana Maria; Hałuszko, Agata; Furmanek, Mirosław; Veselka, Barbara; Velemínský, PetrHuman culture, biology, and health were shaped dramatically by the onset of agriculture ∼12,000 y B.P. This shift is hypothesized to have resulted in increased individual fitness and population growth as evidenced by archaeological and population genomic data alongside a decline in physiological health as inferred from skeletal remains. Here, we consider osteological and ancient DNA data from the same prehistor...
Integrating buccal and occlusal dental microwear with isotope analyses for a co...
Hernando, Raquel; Gamarra, Beatriz; McCall, Ashley; Cheronet, Olivia; Fernandes, Daniel; Sirak, Kendra; Schmidt, Ryan; Lozano, Marina; Szeniczey, TamásDietary reconstruction is used to make inferences about the subsistence strategies of ancient human populations, but it may also serve as a proxy to characterise their diverse cultural and technological manifestations. Dental microwear and stable isotope analyses have been shown to be successful techniques for paleodietary reconstruction of ancient populations but, despite yielding complementary dietary informa...
The Beaker phenomenon and the genomic transformation of northwest Europe
Olalde, Iñigo; Brace, Selina; Allentoft, Morten E; Armit, Ian; Kristiansen, Kristian; Booth, Thomas; Rohland, Nadin; Mallick, SwapanFrom around 2750 to 2500 bc, Bell Beaker pottery became widespread across western and central Europe, before it disappeared between 2200 and 1800 bc. The forces that propelled its expansion are a matter of long-standing debate, and there is support for both cultural diffusion and migration having a role in this process. Here we present genome-wide data from 400 Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Europeans, in...

A minimally-invasive method for sampling human petrous bones from the cranial b...
Sirak, Kendra A; Fernandes, Daniel M.; Cheronet, Olivia; Novak, Mario; Gamarra, Beatriz; Balassa, Tímea; Bernert, Zsolt; Cséki, Andrea; Dani, JánosAncient DNA (aDNA) research involves invasive and destructive sampling procedures that are often incompatible with anthropological, anatomical, and bioarcheological analyses requiring intact skeletal remains. The osseous labyrinth inside the petrous bone has been shown to yield higher amounts of endogenous DNA than any other skeletal element; however, accessing this labyrinth in cases of a complete or reconstru...
The beaker phenomenon and the Genomic transformations of Northwest Europe
Olalde, Iñigo; Brace, Selina; Allentoft, Morten E.; Armit, Ian; Kristiansen, Kristian; Rohland, Nadin; Mallick, Swapan; Booth, ThomasBell Beaker pottery spread across western and central Europe beginning around 2750 BCE before disappearing between 2200-1800 BCE. The mechanism of its expansion is a topic of long-standing debate, with support for both cultural diffusion and human migration. We present new genome-wide ancient DNA data from 170 Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Europeans, including 100 Beaker-associated individuals. In contra...
