Archaeogenomics of humans from the layer of the Upper Volga Culture revealed their greatest genetic similarity with Eastern European hunter-gatherers and ancient representatives of Mesolithic/Neolithic Europe by Andreeva T.V., Zhilin M.G., Malyarchuk A.B., Engovatova A.V., Soshkina A.D., Dobrovolskaya M.V., Buzhilova A.P., Rogaev E.I.

“…The main aim of the study is to elucidate the position of this individual in the context of the genomic landscape of Mesolithic and Neolithic Europe. It is shown that the genetic profile of the studied individual (DM5) fully coincides with the genetic diversity profile of the Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (EHG). …”

The nature of early farming in Central and South-east Europe by Amy Bogaard

Goddesses and the Moon: Images and Symbols of Сuсuteni–Trypillia by Nataliia Burdo

“… Maria Gimbutas devoted three fundamental monographs to the study of the religion of prehistoric Europe and the Goddess who, in her opinion, reigned in the sacred space of the population of Neolithic Europe. She believed that modern European civilization has its origins in the early agricultural societies of the Neolithic period from the 7th to the 3rd millennia BC, which corresponds to the term “Old Europe”. …”

Towards an integrated bioarchaeological perspective on the central European Neolithic: understanding the pace and rhythm of social processes through comparative discussion of the w... by Bogaard, A, Jacomet, S, Schibler, J

“…Alasdair Whittle's work on Neolithic Europe has resisted characterisation of early farming as monolithic, conservative and unchanging, highlighting instead its mutability and fundamentally social nature. …”

Large-scale violence in Late Neolithic Western Europe based on expanded skeletal evidence from San Juan ante Portam Latinam by Fernández-Crespo, T, Ordoño, J, Etxeberria, F, Herrasti, L, Armendariz, Á, Vegas, JI, Schulting, RJ

“…This paper explores the nature and extent of conflict in Late Neolithic Europe based on expanded skeletal evidence for violence from the San Juan ante Portam Latinam rockshelter in present-day Spain (ca. 3380–3000 cal. …”

Population genomic analysis of ancient and modern genomes yields new insights into the genetic ancestry of the Tyrolean Iceman and the genetic structure of Europe. by Martin Sikora, Meredith L Carpenter, Andres Moreno-Estrada, Brenna M Henn, Peter A Underhill, Federico Sánchez-Quinto, Ilenia Zara, Maristella Pitzalis, Carlo Sidore, Fabio Busonero, Andrea Maschio, Andrea Angius, Chris Jones, Javier Mendoza-Revilla, Georgi Nekhrizov, Diana Dimitrova, Nikola Theodossiev, Timothy T Harkins, Andreas Keller, Frank Maixner, Albert Zink, Goncalo Abecasis, Serena Sanna, Francesco Cucca, Carlos D Bustamante

“…Here, we compiled and analyzed genomic datasets from both modern and ancient Europeans, including genome sequence data from over 400 Sardinians and two ancient Thracians from Bulgaria, to investigate this result in greater detail and determine its implications for the genetic structure of Neolithic Europe. Using whole-genome sequencing data, we confirm that the Iceman is, indeed, most closely related to Sardinians. …”

Ancient DNA analysis reveals high frequency of European lactase persistence allele (T-13910) in medieval central europe. by Annina Krüttli, Abigail Bouwman, Gülfirde Akgül, Philippe Della Casa, Frank Rühli, Christina Warinner

“…Previous ancient DNA-based studies found that lactase persistence genotypes fall below detection levels in most regions of Neolithic Europe. Our research shows that by AD 1200, lactase persistence frequency had risen to over 70% in this community in western Central Europe. …”

Celtic Provenance in Traditional Herbal Medicine of Medieval Wales and Classical Antiquity by Charles Wagner, Charles Wagner, Jillian De Gezelle, Slavko Komarnytsky, Slavko Komarnytsky, Slavko Komarnytsky

“…Multiple progressive plant gains in Neolithic settlements along the Danube and up the Rhine valleys suggested that taxon diversity of gathered plants peaked at the Balkans and was subsequently reduced as crop and gathered plants packages were adopted and dispersed throughout Neolithic Europe. This process coincided with the Bronze Age migration of the R1b proto-Celtic tribes, and their herbal traditions were occasionally recorded in the classic Greco-Roman texts on herbal medicines. …”
