Ancient DNA Reveals Limited Hunter‐Gatherer Ancestry in the Cerny Culture (Middle Neolithic, France) Despite Hunting‐Associated Practices

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The arrival of the Neolithic way of life in Europe is associated with the migration of Anatolian farmers and their admixture with local hunter‐gatherers. In the Paris Basin (Northern France), the Middle Neolithic Cerny culture (4700–4300 bce) combines agricultural practices with funerary items linked to hunting, suggesting a particular ...

Re‐sequencing 142 rice genomes reveals the fine‐scale population structure and phylogenetic affinities of landraces of Kashmir Valley: Evidence from domestication and adaptive signatures

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The emergence of rice (Oryza sativa) as a cultivated crop has represented a landmark in the history of agriculture in Kashmir Valley. Unlike winter cereals, such as wheat and barley, which exhibit clear West‐Asian origins, rice attained a different domestication trajectory linked to East‐Asian Neolithic cultures.

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 888-895, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

“Hidden” Landscape of Prehistoric Burial Monuments: The Use of Remote Sensing in the Detection of Neolithic Long Barrows in Bohemia (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 475-497, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Neolithic long barrows are among the earliest monumental structures in Europe, yet in many parts of Central Europe their surface expression has been largely erased by long‐term agricultural activity. This study evaluates the potential of integrated remote sensing approaches for identifying and contextualizing long barrows and associated ...

Multi‐Method Geophysical Surveys Between and Around the Kerlescan and the Manio Megalithic Alignments in Carnac (Morbihan, France)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 499-517, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Carnac alignments in Morbihan (France) are among the most famous Neolithic sites of the world. Paradoxically, they have benefited little from a thorough renewal of archaeological data over the past century. There are many reasons for this, but it is mainly because the site has been regarded more as a monument to visit and protect than as ...
