Archaeogenomics of humans from the layer of the Upper Volga Culture revealed their greatest genetic similarity with Eastern European hunter-gatherers and ancient representatives of Mesolithic/Neolithic Europe [PDF]

Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии
The genetic structure of the population of Northern Europe of the Mesolithic-Neolithic period currently remains poorly investigated due to the small number of materials available for research. For the first time, the complete genome of an individual from

Learning Across the Divide: Understanding Knowledge Sharing Through Petrographic Analysis on Ceramics From the Rhine‐Meuse Delta During the Middle to Late Neolithic Transition (3400–2200 bce)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1251-1264, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Vlaardingen (VL) communities on the Dutch West coast (3400–2200 bce) are part of a unique, long‐term continuity in the European Neolithic. Despite large‐scale changes in European populations during the Neolithic, the genomic diversity and cultural practices of VL communities can be retraced to the Mesolithic.

The beginning of the Neolithic on the Upper Volga (Russia)

Documenta Praehistorica, 2019
The appearance of the Neolithic in the Upper Volga region is to be associated with infiltrations of notch-ware pottery-makers into the indigenous Mesolithic populations. Most likely the first vessels were imported into the region as final goods.

Multi‐Isotopic Reconstruction of Prehistoric Diet and Trophic Organization in Cis‐Baikal Using Zinc and Amino Acid Nitrogen Isotopes

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 3, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Reconstructing dietary practices in prehistoric hunter‐gatherer populations requires disentangling complex ecological, cultural, and chronological variables. In the Cis‐Baikal region of Siberia, subsistence systems relied on combinations of freshwater and terrestrial resources, including fish, Baikal seals, and terrestrial game ...

WHAT ONCE WAS SHALL BE AGAIN: PALAEOLITHIC BIFACES AT THE NEOLITHIC SITE OF GIV'AT RABI EAST

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 398-423, November 2026.
Summary Giv'at Rabi East is a Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site located in northern Israel, interpreted as a flint workshop. One area has been spatially identified as a ‘biface locality’; it is characterized by the presence of finished axes and preforms alongside débitage. Interestingly, Acheulean bifaces have also been recovered from this area.
