Eneolithic Cultures of Central and West Balkans [PDF]
, 1995 The study of Eneolithic sites and cultures, and of the Eneolithic in general, does not have a long tradition in former Yugoslavia. If we take as its starting point the systematic excavations of Ig (Ljubljansko Barje) carried out by K. Deschman in 18751 we are left with a period of some 120 years.

Interactions between Trypillian farmers and North Pontic forager-pastoralists in Eneolithic central Ukraine. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 The establishment of agrarian economy in Eneolithic East Europe is associated with the Pre-Cucuteni-Cucuteni-Trypillia complex (PCCTC). PCCTC farmers interacted with Eneolithic forager-pastoralist groups of the North Pontic steppe as PCCTC extended from ...

Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 513-531, December 2023., 2023 Sources of evidence for studying infectious diseases of humans and other Pleistocene hominins. From top to bottom: DNA analysis of humans and hominins, modern and ancient, including the analysis of genomes at a population scale; palaeopathology, such as osteolytic skeletal lesions resulting from infection, and the study of mummified tissues or palaeo ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 534-564, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract The investigation of submerged archaeological sites faces numerous logistical challenges in the recovery of stratigraphic sequences and, as a result, is often restricted to surface deposits limiting the application of geoarchaeology. This paper outlines a new integrated field and microanalytical methodological protocol to investigate deep ...

A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 5, Page 1967-1998, October 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a ...

Performance and automation of ancient DNA capture with RNA hyRAD probes
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 891-907, April 2022., 2022 Abstract DNA hybridization‐capture techniques allow researchers to focus their sequencing efforts on preselected genomic regions. This feature is especially useful when analysing ancient DNA (aDNA) extracts, which are often dominated by exogenous environmental sources.

Neanderthals on the Lower Danube: Middle Palaeolithic evidence in the Danube Gorges of the Balkans
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 142-180, February 2022., 2022 Abstract The article presents evidence about the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition interval in the karst area of the Danube Gorges in the Lower Danube Basin. We review the extant data and present new evidence from two recently investigated sites found on the Serbian side of the Danube River – Tabula Traiana and Dubočka ...

Sagittal suture morphological variation in human archaeological populations
The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 12, Page 2811-2822, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Cranial sutures join the many bones of the skull. They are therefore points of weakness and consequently subjected to the many mechanical stresses affecting the cranium. However, the way in which this impacts their morphological complexity remains unclear.
