From the field to the laboratory: Controlling DNA contamination in human ancient DNA research in the high-throughput sequencing era
Abstract High-Throughput DNA Sequencing (HTS) technologies have changed the way in
which we detect and assess DNA contamination in ancient DNA studies. Researchers use …

Massive migration from the steppe was a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000–3,000 years
ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost 400,000 polymorphisms …

Pleistocene mitochondrial genomes suggest a single major dispersal of non-Africans and a Late Glacial population turnover in Europe
How modern humans dispersed into Eurasia and Australasia, including the number of
separate expansions and their timings, is highly debated [1, 2]. Two categories of models …

Extensive farming in Estonia started through a sex-biased migration from the Steppe
The transition from hunting and gathering to farming in Europe was brought upon by arrival
of new people carrying novel material culture and genetic ancestry. The exact nature and …

Beyond binaries. Interrogating ancient DNA
RJ Crellin, OJT Harris - Archaeological Dialogues, 2020 - cambridge.org
In this paper we explore ancient DNA (aDNA) as a powerful new technique for
archaeologists. We argue that for aDNA to reach its full potential we need to carefully …

Implications of Nubian-like core reduction systems in southern Africa for the identification of early modern human dispersals
Lithic technologies have been used to trace dispersals of early human populations within
and beyond Africa. Convergence in lithic systems has the potential to confound such …
