Neolithic study finds gender roles in Europe were distinct yet remarkably flexible
Researchers have examined 125 adult skeletons from two Neolithic sites in eastern Hungary to study how work, daily routines, and burial customs related to gender. The sites, Polgár-Ferenci-hát, dated to about 5300 to 5070 BCE, and Polgár-Csőszhalom, dated to about 4800 to 4650 BCE...

Analysis at a megalithic #tomb at #Bury, north of #Paris, shows two separate phases of burial: unusually young deaths in the 3100s BCE—perhaps indicating major crisis such as war or famine—and an unrelated population derived from #Iberia some centuries later.
This supports evidence elsewhere in #Europe of a #Neolithic #population #collapse ~5000 years ago.

Ancient DNA from a Neolithic tomb near Paris reveals two genetically distinct populations separated by a catastrophic collapse around 5,000 years ago. Plague, abandonment, and migration — all in a single burial site. #Archaeogenetics #Neolithic #AncientDNA https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-tomb-that-remembered-two-worlds

We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.
We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange, Co.Meath* today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.
We stood inside a Neolithic Chamber that was built 5,200 years ago, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.
There are no words to explain how that feels - we are merely a dot on the timeline of this earth!
*for Mark 😉

For today’s #StandingStoneSunday here’s yours truly at the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland from last October. An amazing stone circle that was set up between 2900 and 2600BC. One version of folklore has it they are petrified giants who refused to convert to Christianity. #neolithic #isleoflewis #scotland #outerhebrides

Working on a side project on #stone #axe s from old excavations, I have found this specimen of partially destroyed (and I think reworked) axe head. I have never seen these kinds of markings: grooved line approx. on the axis, diagonal lines and rubbing/roughening in the area where shaft-hole was drilled. No other specimen has this kind of stuff. Can it be a preparation/measurements that failed grind of?

It's good to see at least somebody enjoys the little concrete pillars among the stones at Avebury. Great for a bit of a scratch. #StandingStoneSunday #stonecirce #Avebury #Neolithic #megalith #Wiltshire #sheep

Rare deer skull headdress discovered in Germany highlights exchange between hunter-gatherers and Europe’s first farmers
Archaeologists working at the Early Neolithic settlement of Eilsleben in Saxony-Anhalt have uncovered evidence of close contact between Europe’s first farming communities and local hunter-gatherers...

The #Poaceae family is called “#Süssgräser” in German. They have been our source of #sugar and #carbohydrates for over 10’000 years, and basis of the #Neolithic Revolution: rice, maize, wheat, millet, barley… And later #sugarcane,, with 2025.8 Megatons of harvested biomass per year!

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”
