Major migration events in Holocene Eurasia have been characterized genetically at broad regional scales1–4. However, insights into the population dynamics in the contact zones are hampered by a lack of ancient genomic data sampled at high spatiotemporal resolution5–7. Here, to address this, we analysed shotgun-sequenced genomes from 100 skeletons spanning 7,300 years of the Mesolithic period, Neolithic period and Early Bronze Age in Denmark and integrated these with proxies for diet (13C and 15N content), mobility (87Sr/86Sr ratio) and vegetation cover (pollen). We observe that Dan...

Europe's oldest shoes have been discovered remarkably well-preserved after lying inside a Spanish bat cave for more than 6,000 years.

BOWLAND will be taken back to the Stone Age by Dr Rick Peterson with this year's 12th Lord of Bowland Lecture.

Its date is only known to the extent that almost all moated sites of this kind in Sweden belong to the period 1250-1500.
