New Directions in Archaeogenetics and Archaeolinguistics: Recapitulation and Outlook

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

In the past couple of years, we have witnessed how new techniques for the study of ancient biomolecules have disrupted the study of the human past and reshaped the research arena (Cappellini et al. 2018). Traditionally, only two lines of evidence have been available for human prehistory: that of prehistoric archaeology and that of historical linguistics. Now we are so fortunate as to witness these being supplemented with a third, entirely independent line of evidence, viz. palaeogenetics. The consequences of this addition can safely be called spectacular.
