TL;DR: In this paper, the authors 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient DNA reveals key stages in the formation of central European mitochondrial genetic diversity.

TL;DR: The processes that shaped modern European mtDNA variation remain unclear as mentioned in this paper, and the initial peopling by Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers and the immigration of Neolithic farmers into Europe ~8000 years ago appear to have played important roles but do not explain present-day mtDNA diversity.
Supplementary Materials for Ancient DNA Reveals Key Stages in the Formation of Central European Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity

TL;DR: This transect through time reveals four key population events associated with well-known archaeological cultures, which involved genetic influx into Central Europe from various directions at various times, revealing a key role for Late Neolithic cultures in shaping modern Central European genetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lombards on the move--an integrative study of the migration period cemetery at Szólád, Hungary.
Kurt W. Alt,Corina Knipper,Daniel Peters,Wolfgang Müller,Anne-France Maurer,Isabelle Kollig,Nicole Nicklisch,Christiane Müller,Sarah Karimnia,Guido Brandt,Christina Roth,Martin Rosner,Balász Mende,Bernd R. Schöne,Tivadar Vida,Uta von Freeden +15 more
TL;DR: The inferred dynamics of the burial community are in agreement with hypotheses of a highly mobile lifestyle during the Migration Period and a short-term occupation of Pannonia by Lombard settlers as conveyed by written sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human paleogenetics of Europe--the known knowns and the known unknowns.
TL;DR: Observations from the genetic data are reconciled with hypotheses about the peopling and settlement history from anthropology and archaeology for various key regions, and the data are discussed in light of evidence from related disciplines, such as modern human genetics, climatology and linguistics.
