We analyse new genomic data (0.05–2.95x) from 14 ancient individuals from Portugal distributed from the Middle Neolithic (4200–3500 BC) to the Middle Bronze Age (1740–1430 BC) and impute genomewide diploid genotypes in these together with published ancient Eurasians. While discontinuity is evident in the transition to agriculture across the region, sensitive haplotype-based analyses suggest a significant degree of local hunter-gatherer contribution to later Iberian Neolithic populations. A more subtle genetic influx is also apparent in the Bronze Age, detectable from analyses including haplotype sharing with both ancient and modern genomes, D-statistics and Y-chromosome lineages. However, the limited nature of this introgression contrasts with the major Steppe migration turnovers within third Millennium northern Europe and echoes the survival of non-Indo-European language in Iberia. Changes in genomic estimates of individual height across Europe are also associated with these major cultural transitions, and ancestral components continue to correlate with modern differences in stature.

In 2014-2015, Caddo vessels from the Tuck Carpenter (41CP5) collection were scanned at the Center for Regional Heritage Research. These scans were generated for use in a study of 3D geometric morphometrics and for public outreach. Many thanks to the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the Anthropology and Archaeology Laboratory for the requisite permissions and access.

Whether man is predisposed to lethal violence, ranging from homicide to warfare, and how that may have impacted human evolution, are among the most controversial topics of debate on human evolution. Although recent studies on the evolution of warfare have been based on various archaeological and ethnographic data, they have reported mixed results: it is unclear whether or not warfare among prehistoric hunter–gatherers was common enough to be a component of human nature and a selective pressure for the evolution of human behaviour. This paper reports the mortality attributable to violence, and the spatio-temporal pattern of violence thus shown among ancient hunter–gatherers using skeletal evidence in prehistoric Japan (the Jomon period: 13 000 cal BC–800 cal BC). Our results suggest that the mortality due to violence was low and spatio-temporally highly restricted in the Jomon period, which implies that violence including warfare in prehistoric Japan was not common.

Anonymised version of the survey results on alternative aggregation mechanisms. The online survey was conducted through Google Forms and was available from April 20 to May 8, 2020 as part of a master’s thesis in Information Science. The main objective of this survey was to gauge the awareness, interest, and use of technologies other than OAI-PMH for (meta)data aggregation. The main target audiences of the survey were the data providers and the aggregators of the Europeana network, albeit it should be noted that it was also open to other organisations and individuals working in the cultural heritage field. Another goal of the survey was to identify possible pilot experiments that Europeana could conduct with interested organisations.

Background and methodology: The subject co-occurrence matrix represents the pairs of All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) disciplines that co-occur in journals represented in the SHAPE-ID Literature Review dataset, prepared for the purposes of quantitative analysis. We take disciplinary affiliations of journals as a proxy of disciplinary characteristics of the journal articles in the Literature Review dataset, mindful of the fact that a particular article might deviate from the disciplinary affiliation of the journal in which it was published. However, since there was no data readily available on item level, and manual disciplinary encoding of all the items in the bibliography was beyond the scope of this study, the method used is the best approximation of the presence of discourse on interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, in and between disciplines. In the matrix, each co-occurrence value is weighted by the number of journals that feature the given pair of disciplines, and by the number of articles represented in the dataset that feature in these journals. E.g. if Journals J1 and J2 each featured disciplines D1 and D2, and if 4 articles from J1 and 7 articles from J2 are represented in the SHAPE-ID Literature Review dataset, the co-occurrence value is 11. The pairings cross-referencing a single discipline (e.g. 1202 History in both first row and first column) correspond to the co-occurence value of mono-disciplinary journals. Description of the file: This is a csv file containing a 308x308 cell matrix with ASJC disciplines in first rows and columns, and co-occurrence value in the remaining cells.

Data supplement for the landscape connectivity study between Iron Age settlements (LT B-LT D) in Křivoklát Protected Landscape Area with focus on site of Nižbor (exact quotation of the paper will be added after its official publishing – Venclová, N. –Dreslerová, D. – Kyselý, R. – Dyčka, M. – Šebesta, J. – Pachnerová Brabcová, K. – Bíšková, J. – Matoušek, V. 2024: Paths to this and the next world: A La Tène sunken hut from Nižbor, Central Bohemia. Archeologické rozhledy 76, 329-358). The study is based on the analysis called Cumulative Focal Mobility Network (CFMN), which has been perfected for more than a decade. This method calculates directional-less movement in the artificial environment from a multitude of source points (grid of 256 equally spaced points in a 50 km radius around Nižbor) by means of the interpretation of slope model using hydrological tools (Fábrega-Álvarez 2006; Murrieta-Flores 2012). The resulting x-number of models, representing the most convenient paths to the selection of points, are then merged and analysed with the Density tool to find the highest number of overlaps (for the syntax, see Fig. 14). In practice, these are the corridors for the most convenient movement throughout the landscape (Bellavia 2001; Verhagen 2010; Déderix 2016). In other words, the analysis can be described as an ideal model of connectivity and accessibility of various locations in the terrain and of optimal pathways – natural corridors of movement – leading across the entire landscape (Verhagen et al. 2013; Stančo – Pažout 2020). The 5th generation Digital Terrain Model of the Czech Republic (DMR 5G) was used for the analysis. It was reclassified to an 8 m cell size and cleared of modern infrastructure developments (Novák et al. 2022). It was combined with the Model of Potential Floodplains in the Czech Republic (Novák 2017), which served as a further buffer for the movement. All analyses were calculated in ArcMap 10.8 software. To reconstruct the position of the studied site in the LT B–LT ­D period in a broader sense, the settlement pattern should be considered within the Křivoklát Protected Landscape Area and its surroundings (principally Beroun, Kladno, Praha-západ and Rakovník districts in Central Bohemia). An overview of La Tène sites was recently presented (Dreslerová et al. 2022) based on current archaeological records (AMCR database). Hence, in a 50 km radius around Nižbor, 344 positive confirmations of human activity can be found between LT B and LT D. For the needs of this study, the site location was refined by merging the immediately neighbouring ones into clusters, which are further treated as one site with positive confirmation of occupation in LT B­–LT D. A total of 149 sites were thus studied in relation to Nižbor. Sources: AMCR database: Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic. Available at: https://digiarchiv.aiscr.cz/ [accessed 01-01-2022].
