Mobility, contact, and exchange in the Baltic Sea basin 6000–2000 BC
TLDR
The main features and principal aspects of contact and exchange among the later prehistoric hunter-gatherers (late Mesolithic and post-Mesolithic) in the Baltic Sea basin, which covers the southern and eastern reaches of Northern Europe, and summarise the main advances in current research are discussed in this paper.About:

TL;DR: Analysis of eight ancient genomes from a 3,500 year temporal transect through the Baltic region finds evidence that some hunter-gatherer ancestry persisted across the Neolithic transition in both regions, and finds signals consistent with influxes of non-local people from northern Eurasia and the Pontic Steppe.

TL;DR: Comparing genetic data from ancient and modern-day populations revealed significant changes in the mitochondrial makeup of North East Europeans through time, which suggests an important role of post-Mesolithic migrations from Western Europe and subsequent population replacement/extinctions.

The Power of Feasts: From Prehistory to the Present
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the importance of feasting and the primate foundations of food sharing is presented. But the focus is on the food sharing and not the food itself.

TL;DR: A comparison with 124 previously published sequences from prehistoric Europe shows that the TRB individuals share a close affinity to Central European farmer populations, and that they are distinct from hunter–gatherer groups, including the geographically close and partially contemporary PWC that show a close ancestral affinity to the European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed human-fire relationships throughout the Holocene and discussed how and to what extent human-driven fires affected the landscape transformation in the Central European Lowlands (CEL).

Man the Hunter
Richard B. Lee,Irven DeVore +1 more
TL;DR: Man the Hunter as discussed by the authors is a collection of papers presented at a symposium on research done among the hunting and gathering peoples of the world, which is a necessary background to broader discussions with archaeologists, biologists, and students of human evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Style and Social Information in Kalahari San Projectile Points
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between stylistic variation in Kalahari San projectile points and aspects of San social organization is discussed, and five issues relevant to archaeology are discussed in light of the San data: (1) stylistic behavior and the different aspects of style, (2) which items of material culture carry social information and why, (3) which attributes on San projectile point carries social information, (4) what the results of the analysis of stylistic variations in projectile points imply for current methods for stylistic analysis and interpretation, and (5) the correspondence

The Origins and Spread of Agriculture and Pastoralism in Eurasia
TL;DR: In this paper, an anthropological perspective on domesticating and raising animals is presented, with a focus on the origins and spread of agriculture and nomadic pastoralism in the Levant and Central Asia.

Nimrods, Piscators, Pluckers, and Planters: The Emergence of Food Production
TL;DR: The view of the first domesticates as prestige items used by accumulators to outclass their rivals explains the otherwise mystifying nature of many of thefirst domesticates, including dogs, gourds, chili peppers, and avocados.
