The paper presents genome-wide data from Gravettian-associated individuals and sedimentary DNA from the Solutrean period, revealing genetic admixture between East and West European populations before the Last Glacial Maximum.

The paper analyzes the Hvar Radosevic burial site to study ancestry, diet, and health of Late Antique Dalmatian populations, finding genetic diversity, a plant-based diet, and signs of poor health.

The paper presents the first complete mitochondrial DNA genome of Plasmodium falciparum from a Roman-era skeleton, supporting an Indian origin for the parasite in Europe and genetic continuity over 2,000 years.

This study analyzes ancient DNA from 204 individuals to show stable population structure in Europe despite high mobility during the historical period.

This paper introduces a pooled testing method for sedimentary DNA analysis, reducing costs and lab time by up to 70% while maintaining aDNA signal detection.

This study analyzes ancient genomes from the Iron Age central Mediterranean to explore population continuity and mobility, finding significant local contributions and diverse non-local ancestries.

The paper develops a minimally-invasive method for ancient DNA sampling from prehistoric bone and antler tools, successfully identifying taxa for 33% of objects and demonstrating antler as a reliable aDNA source.
