"We present 14 new ancient mitogenome sequences from pre-Phoenician (~1800 BCE) and Phoenician (~700–400 BCE) samples from Lebanon (n = 4) and Sardinia (n = 10) and compare these with 87 new complete mitogenomes from modern Lebanese and 21 recently published pre-Phoenician ancient mitogenomes from Sardinia to investigate the population dynamics of the Phoenician (Punic) site of Monte Sirai, in southern Sardinia."

"In the context of European populations, and particularly in Iberia, this haplogroup stands out for its high frequency and its demographic history. Current evidence indicates that the diffusion of this haplogroup is related to the population movements that mark the cultural Bronze Age transition, making it remarkably interesting for population geneticists."

Currently #AmReading Barry Cunliffe's 'By Steppe, Desert, & Ocean: The Birth Of Eurasia'. The illustrated #maps are so helpful for understanding and contextualising the written material in the #book. Trying to keep a track of the content without the #maps would be difficult. The #book covers 10,000 years of #history and a land mass encompassing both #Europe and #Asia. #Archaeology #Eurasia #Books #Bookstodon @archaeodons @bookstodon

"This article offers the examples from Sintashta SM and Kamennyj Ambar-5, along with Bayesian modelling of radiocarbon dates from KA-5's kurgan burials, as new information for debate over both the timing of the introduction of light vehicles on the Eurasian Steppe and, more generally, technological innovations across Eurasia."

@jared Welcome, thank you for following.

"We analyzed a comprehensive autosomal and Y-chromosome dataset of Eurasian and African populations identifying genetic signals of regional LGP population isolation, and contrasted expansion time estimates and dispersal routes in the region with archaeological, palaeontological, palaeobotanical, and climate data."
