Early Pastoralism in Central European Forests: Insights from Ancient Environmental Genomics

2023-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Central European forests have been shaped by complex human interactions throughout the Holocene, with significant changes following the introduction of domesticated animals in the Neolithic (∼7.5 – 6.0 kyr BP). However, understanding early pastoral practices and their impact on forests is limited by methods for detecting animal movement across past landscapes. Here we examine ancient sedimentary DNA ( seda DNA) p...
