Sedimentary ancient DNA reveals Neolithic pastoralism and plant community interactions at Southern European high altitudes

2024-06-13

Abstract excerpt

The Neolithization process introduced significant ecological impacts, especially in Mediterranean mountain areas. We generated a comprehensive sedimentary ancient DNA record from the central Pyrenees, spanning 12.2 to 1.3 ka BP, revealing the earliest continuous presence of sheep (6.5 ka BP) and cattle (5.9 ka BP) in alpine southern Europe. This evidence suggests pastoralism nearly concurred with the Neolithic in...
