Large-scale archaeogenetic studies of people from prehistoric Europe tend to be broad in scope and difficult resolve with local archaeologies. However, accompanying supplementary information often contains useful finer-scale that is comprehensible without specific genetics expertise. Here, we show how undiscussed details provided aDNA papers can provide crucial insight into patterns ancestry ch...

Accomplishing long-term plans to harvest and modify natural resources has been a crucial skill for the survival of our species since early Prehistory. Research on this first step production mostly focuses provenience study lithic artifacts uncovered at archaeological sites, using petrographic geochemical analyses correlate with potential geological outcrops. Although fundamental understanding k...
