  1. The Lombard Invasion

    The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy was a pivotal event in Venetian history.

    The invasion, and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.

    The Lombard invasion, and the subsequent migration of parts of the mainland residents into the lagoons, became a central part of the later Venetian national narrative — the stories they told to explain where they came from and who they were.

    ❤️ interdisciplinary research

    "We found that even 200 years after immigration, the ancestry at one site (Leobersdorf) remained dominantly East Asian-like, whereas the other site (Mödling) shows local, European-like ancestry. These two nearby sites show little biological relatedness, despite sharing a distinctive late-Avar culture."

    This DNA analysis meets #archeology article about the #Avars around Vienna has some amazing findings + it is so well written.

  7. Czech archaeologists unearth unique bronze belt buckle from early Middle Ages

    Czech archaeologists from Masaryk University in Brno have revealed a bronze belt buckle dating back to the eighth century, depicting a snake devouring a frog-like creature...

  8. "The #wholecemeteryDNA approach made it possible to reconstruct entire family trees. The 9-generation tree stretched from a founding male buried not long after the #Avars first arrived to a descendant 250 yrs later. The approach “made these people really come to life… how they organized their communities—something we never would see through written sources or #archaeology alone.”

  9. "We present a set of large pedigrees, reconstructed using ancient DNA, spanning nine generations and comprising around 300 individuals. We uncover a strict patrilineal kinship system, in which patrilocality and female exogamy were the norm and multiple reproductive partnering and levirate unions were common. The absence of consanguinity indicates that this society maintained a detailed memory of ancestry over generations."
