More than two hundred papers have reported genome-wide data from ancient humans.
While the raw data for the vast majority are fully publicly available testifying to the …

By sequencing 727 ancient individuals from the Southern Arc (Anatolia and its neighbors in
Southeastern Europe and West Asia) over 10,000 years, we contextualize its Chalcolithic …

Abstract In European and many African, Middle Eastern and southern Asian populations,
lactase persistence (LP) is the most strongly selected monogenic trait to have evolved over …

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect …

Due to postmortem DNA degradation and microbial colonization, most ancient genomes
have low depth of coverage, hindering genotype calling. Genotype imputation can improve …

The maritime expansion of Scandinavian populations during the Viking Age (about ad 750–
1050) was a far-flung transformation in world history,. Here we sequenced the genomes of …

The nature and distribution of political power in Europe during the Neolithic era remains
poorly understood. During this period, many societies began to invest heavily in building …

Starting from 12,000 years ago in the Middle East, the Neolithic lifestyle spread across
Europe via separate continental and Mediterranean routes. Genomes from early European …

Haploid high quality reference genomes are an important resource in genomic research
projects. A consequence is that DNA fragments carrying the reference allele will be more …

One of the prehistoric techniques of salt production consisted of using ceramic vessels,
known as briquetage, for the artificial evaporation of salt water. This paper summarizes all …
