TL;DR: It is shown that Steppe ancestry then integrated further south in the first half of the second millennium BCE, contributing up to 30% of the ancestry of modern groups in South Asia, supporting the idea that the archaeologically documented dispersal of domesticates was accompanied by the spread of people from multiple centers of domestication.

TL;DR: In this article, the processes of human subsistence strategies in the highlands of Central Asia remain poorly understood, and the authors present a set of tools to understand these processes in a more complete way.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the possible effect of geographical margin, mountains in particular, on grain morphotypes, and argue that variation in grain size was driven by environmental factors, while compact grain forms in particular could have formed in geographical margins such as mountains.

TL;DR: It is suggested that early farmers in the mountains of Central Asia cultivated compact morphotypes of southwest Asian crops during the initial eastward dispersal of agricultural technologies, which likely played a critical role in shaping montane adaptations and dynamic interaction networks between farming societies across highland and lowland cultivation zones.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first comprehensive archaeobotanical investigation from the prehistoric farming settlement of Chap I (1065-825 cal bce), located in a high altitude valley in the central Tien Shan mountains, Kyrgyzstan, was presented.
