Stone Age European hunter-gatherers reached North Africa by boat, ancient DNA reveals

New genetic studies offer the very first clear evidence that European hunter-gatherers crossed the Mediterranean and came into contact with North African populations as early as 8,500 years ago.

Stone Age European hunter-gatherers reached North Africa by boat, ancient DNA reveals New genetic studies offer the very first clear evidence that European hunter-gatherers crossed the Mediterranean and came into contact with North African populations as early as 8,500 years ago. The discoveries challenge long-held beliefs about how agriculture and cultural influences reached the region while attesting to the resilience of local populations in the eastern Maghreb. In new research published in the journal Nature, co-led by Ron Pinhasi of the University of Vienna, David Reich and Mark Lipson of Harvard Medical School, Alfredo Coppa of Sapienza University of Rome, and Giulio Lucarini of the National Research Council of Italy, researchers performed a genome-wide analysis of nine individuals from Algeria and Tunisia from the Later Stone Age until the Neolithic. The study brings to light how early human populations in North Africa interacted with their European counterparts and transitioned from hunting and gathering to food production...

Laboratory technology goes back further than many people think. Even the earliest Neanderthals donned their lab coats and achieved incredible results.

Neolithic ‘sun stones’ sacrificed in Denmark to revive the sun after volcanic eruption

Neolithic ‘sun stones’ sacrificed in Denmark to revive the sun after volcanic eruption Around 4,900 years ago, Neolithic communities on the Danish island of Bornholm ritually buried hundreds of engraved stones, so-called “sun stones,” in a remarkable act to counter drastic climate changes caused by a massive volcanic eruption. The eruption was identified in ice cores by the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen as having caused a period of cold and darkness and severely affecting early agricultural societies. The volcanic event, which occurred around 2900 BCE, spewed large amounts of sulfur into the atmosphere, forming a haze that blocked sunlight. This, in turn, caused temperatures to fall and significantly reduced sunlight—a challenge that led to crop failure and proved to be an existential threat, particularly to Neolithic farmers...

Stone Age family killed in house fire 6,000 years ago, study reveals A recent interdisciplinary study of ancient human remains from Kosenivka, Ukraine, has revealed new insights into the lives and deaths of individuals from the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, a Neolithic society that flourished in Eastern Europe between 5500 and 2750 BCE. Archaeologists first uncovered the site in 2004, located about 115 miles south of Kyiv. Within a burned house, researchers discovered 50 bone fragments belonging to seven individuals, including two children, one adolescent, and four adults. Four of the individuals were heavily burned, while three were unburned and found outside the house. Radiocarbon dating revealed that six of the individuals likely perished between 3690 and 3620 BCE, while one person’s remains dated roughly 130 years later, suggesting a complex series of events.

Mammoths were a key food source for ancient Americans, Clovis-era baby bones reveal Researchers have uncovered the first direct evidence that the Clovis people, a prehistoric group who lived in North America around 13,000 years ago, primarily relied on mammoths and other large animals as their main food source. The findings are based on chemical analyses of the remains of Anzick-1, an 18-month-old child discovered at a Clovis burial site in Montana. Since the child was still nursing, researchers examined the isotopic fingerprint in his bones to infer his mother’s diet...

It seems that a fair amount of #ceramics found at five archaeological sites in #Czechia from the Upper #Paleolithic were formed by children. A really interesting article that also explains how they arrived at their conclusions about kid ceramicists.

Vast Viking burial ground with ship burials uncovered in Halland, Sweden Archaeologists have unearthed a vast Viking Age burial ground near Varberg in Halland County, Sweden, during what began as an investigation of a Stone Age settlement. Initially, the team was conducting a routine preliminary examination for the installation of new water pipes and a roundabout. However, the excavation, which started in May 2017, took a surprising turn when remains of 139 Viking graves were discovered, containing human and animal bones, ship settings, cremation sites, and various artifacts...
