Research Projects New publication uses Barcın Höyük genomes to study Neolithic kinship traditions

An international team of geneticists, anthropologists and archaeologists have used ancient genomes to study people whose burials are associated with some of the earliest houses in history, some 10,000-8,000 years ago in Anatolia. The data includes genomes from Barcın Höyük, a site excavated by the Netherlands Institute in Turkey, and three other Neolithic sites.
