TL;DR: By combining genome-wide data, isotopic evidence, and anthropological and archaeological data, this work has gone beyond the dominating supraregional approaches in archaeogenetics to shed light on the complexity of social status, inheritance rules, and mobility during the Bronze Age.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new AMS lab has been established at the CurtEngelhorn-Centre for Achaeometry, Mannheim, Germany, based on the compact MICADAS (Mini Carbon Dating System).

TL;DR: It is shown that Lauricocha was indeed occupied in the Early to Middle Holocene but the temporal spread of dates obtained from the human remains show that they do not qualify as a single contemporaneous population.

TL;DR: A revised chronology of the assumed diagnostic type objects of the Early Bronze Age is presented and a radiocarbon-based view on the development of the material culture is recommended and it is proposed that the traditional phases Bz A1 and BZ A2 do not represent a chronological sequence, but regionally different social phenomena connected to the willingness of local actors to appropriate the new bronze technology.

TL;DR: Rather than representing an insurmountable evolutionary inheritance, violence and ethnic nepotism can be overcome and a sustainable future achieved through mutual respect, tolerance and openness to multi-ethnic societies.
