Ancient DNA reveals origin of first Bronze Age civilizations in Europe

The first civilisations to build monumental palaces and urban centres in Europe are more genetically homogenous than expected, according to genomes gathered from archaeological sites around the Aegean. Individuals from the northern Aegean were considerably different by the Middle Bronze Age, sharing half their ancestry with people from the Pontic-Caspian steppe. These populations were highly similar to present-day Greeks. This supports theories that Proto-Greek and Indo-European languages originated in Anatolia or the Pontic-Caspian Steppe region.

1,600-year-old Byzantine mosaic carpet to go on display in Yavneh

Get email notification for articles from Ruth Schuster Follow Apr. 26, 2021 12:38 PM A 1,600-year-old mosaic carpet found right next to the Byzantine-era industrial zone of Yavneh is to be placed on public display at the city’s cultural center, the Israel Antiquities Authority and city announced on Monday. In Israel, infrastructure works are generally preceded by archaeological exploration of the site in case there’s anything worth preserving, or at least knowing about. Many a site is explored and then covered back over for the development to proceed. Yavneh has existed since the Middle Bronze Age, if not before, and has been excavated for decades. Nowadays, the IAA is extensively excavating southeast of Tell Yavneh ahead of new neighborhood development.

Archaeologists Think They ve Found Missing Link in Origin of the Alphabet

Archaeologists Think They’ve Found Missing Link in Origin of the Alphabet Candida Moss © Provided by The Daily Beast FlamingPumpkin When it comes to the fruits of human genius the wheel gets a lot of credit as the most important invention in human history. If you roll the wheel to the side, however, the alphabet and different ways of producing and arranging it, like the printing press, have also had a sizeable impact on the course of human history. Even if people are divided by language, it’s by writing that ideas and stories are unshackled from individual speakers and can travel and move across space and time. For all its importance, though, the limited archeological evidence makes it difficult to tell the history of western. literature’s foundation stone. Now, archaeologists in Israel claim that they have discovered a “missing piece” of the puzzle.
