Ancient pottery uncovers honey hunting in ancient West Africa
Ron Pinhasi explains, “We report for the first time that families at the study sites of Nitra in Slovakia and Polgár-Ferenci-hát in Hungary do not differ in terms of the foods they consumed, the grave goods they were buried with, or their origins.“
“This suggests that the people living in these Neolithic sites were not stratified on the basis of family or biological sex, and we do not detect signs of inequality, understood as differential access to resources or space.“
The LBK culture ended around 5000 BCE, and several theories have been proposed regarding the collapse. A few claim socio-economic crises led to widespread episodes of violence.
The Massacre of Asparn-Schletz (Lower Austria) is one of the largest known assemblages, where over 100 individuals were recovered from a ditch system. Signs of multiple fractures show clear traces of violence.
Pere Gelabert says, “Our meticulous genetic study of the Asparn-Schletz individuals showed that less than 10 were genetically related, which challenges the hypothesis that the massacre represented a single population.“
