open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2009
The 14C gradient of pottery dispersal suggests that the sites in the southern Balkans are not significantly older than those in the northern and eastern Balkans.

Biocultural diversity of common walnut (Juglans regia L.) and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) across Eurasia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 20, Page 11192-11216, October 2020., 2020
Little is known about how anthropogenic processes have affected the evolution of tree species with a long‐time‐scale history of human utilization such as common walnut (Juglans regia L.) and sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.). In this study, we evaluated the impact of isolation by distance processes, landscape heterogeneity, and cultural boundaries

A Survey of Visual Analytics for Public Health

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 543-580, February 2020., 2020
We describe visual analytics solutions aiming to support public health professionals, and thus, preventive measures. Prevention aims at advocating behaviour and policy changes likely to improve human health. Public health strives to limit the outbreak of acute diseases as well as the reduction of chronic diseases and injuries.

The Mechanisms of Neolithisation of Western Europe: Beyond a South/North Approach

open access: yesOpen Archaeology, 2021
Up until now, the neolithisation of Western Europe during the sixth millennium BCE has mainly been approached through the characterisation of its diffusion vectors (cultural vs demic diffusion) and the emergence of technoeconomic innovations (rhythms ...

Paleogenomics of the prehistory of Europe: human migrations, domestication and disease

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2021
A substantial portion of ancient DNA research has been centred on understanding European populations’ origin and evolution. A rchaeological evidence has already shown that the peopling of Europe involved an intricate pattern of demic and/or cultural ...

Assessing the importance of cultural diffusion in the Bantu spread into southeastern Africa.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The subsistence of Neolithic populations is based on agriculture, whereas that of previous populations was based on hunting and gathering. Neolithic spreads due to dispersal of populations are called demic, and those due to the incorporation of hunter ...

The transition to farming and the ceramic trajectories in Western Eurasia. From ceramic figurines to vessels

open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2006
In Eurasia the invention of ceramic technology and production of fired-clay vessels has not necessarily been related to the dynamics of the transition to farming.

Transition to farming – transition to milk culture: a case study from Mala Triglavca, Slovenia

open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2013
In this paper, we discuss the transition to milk culture. While archaeological and biochemical data suggest that dairying was adopted in the Neolithic in Europe, archaeogenetic data show the absence of the allelic variant –13 910*T and very low lactase ...
