The current paradigm-changing ancient DNA revolution is offering
unparalleled insights into central problems within archaeology
relating to the movement of populations and individuals, patterns
of descent, relationships and aspects of identity – at many
scales and of many different kinds. The impact of recent ancient
DNA results can be seen particularly clearly in studies of the
European Neolithic, the subject of contributions presented in this
volume. We now have new evidence for the movement and mixture of
people at the start of the Neolithic, as farming spread from the
east, and at its end, when the first metals as well as novel styles
of pottery and burial practices arrived in the Chalcolithic. In
addition, there has been a wealth of new data to inform complex
questions of identities and relationships. The terms of
archaeological debate for this period have been permanently
altered, leaving us with many issues. This volume stems from the
online day conference of the Neolithic Studies Group held in
November 2021, which aimed to bring geneticists and archaeologists
together in the same forum, and to enable critical but constructive
inter-disciplinary debate about key themes arising from the
application of advanced ancient DNA analysis to the study of the
European Neolithic. The resulting papers gathered here are by both
geneticists and archaeologists. Individually, they form a series of
significant, up-to-date, period and regional syntheses of various
manifestations of the Neolithic across the Near East and Europe,
including particularly Britain and Ireland. Together, they offer
wide-ranging reflections on the progress of ancient DNA studies,
and on their future reach and character.
