TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the use of sulphur isotopes as an indicator of the consumption of freshwater fish using bone collagen extracted from humans and animals from five archaeological sites from the Danube Gorges region dating from the Mesolithic to the middle Neolithic periods.

TL;DR: The authors reject the idea of sacrificial infanticide, and demonstrate a consistency of respect in these burials, suggesting that the deaths were mourned and the dead were given protection by the houses they were buried in.

TL;DR: The spatiotemporal spread of LP is investigated through an analysis of 14 warriors from the Tollense Bronze Age battlefield in northern Germany and selection was ongoing in various parts of Europe over the last 3,000 years, suggesting that the surge of rs4988235 in Central and Northern Europe was unlikely caused by Steppe expansions.

TL;DR: In a restricted zone of the excavated area, vertical stratification of burial and occupation features yielded evidence about the use of the site in the period that is contemporaneous with Phase I-II at Lepenski Vir, the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition phase in this region, ca. 6200-5900 cal b.c..

TL;DR: The results suggest that the cultural process that underlies the patterns observed in Central and Western Europe was also in operation in the Central Balkan Neolithic and that the population increase component of this process can be considered as an important factor for the spread of the Neolithic as envisioned in the demic diffusion hypothesis.
