![]() ![]() This attraction occurs through electrostatic or steric stabilization or through a combination of these mechanisms, electrosteric stabilization. They can prevent or delay flocculation of the particles by providing repulsive forces, counteracting the van der Waals attraction. The official start was late 2018, and members of the core team met in Mulhouse in December for a kick-off meeting.Dispersants are compounds that are used to maintain particles suspended in a liquid medium, either water or an organic solvent. ![]() The French-German collaboration guarantees a detailed contextualisation of the human aDNA data and will generate a refined understanding of the Neolithisation process in Western Europe. The project will benefit directly from collaborations between expert archaeologists and anthropologists of the French and German Neolithic and population geneticists. The multidisciplinary data gathered will then permit the first direct test of cultural/biological contacts, modes of exchange, and demographic models through mathematical simulation studies. ![]() ![]() We will also generate the first genomic data from western European Mesolithic and Neolithic individuals from a wide variety of geographical and cultural contexts. We will complement existing databases with new data from key sites and detailed information about the distribution of archaeological cultures/entities for the entire study area to consolidate the archaeological background. Our approach is the first to combine archaeological and genetic survey studies at multi-national level in Western Europe. Represent genetically distinguishable human groups, at the best possible level Project will be to investigate how far the typologically derived entities Interaction with indigenous late hunter-gatherers (HG). Southern France (Mediterranean route), and (ii) the various forms of Human interaction in prehistory, as it encompasses both (i) the convergence of earlyįarming communities from Central Europe (Danubian route) with those from This region is uniquely suited to study questions of Variability in cultural and biological interactions between human groups during Western Germany, Switzerland and Italy, to unravel the complexity and Our project targets a key region that includes modern-day France, This scenario now needs to be tested against the evidence from Western Europe. For the more easterly and northern regions of Central Europe this has been achieved in recent years with the surprising result that incoming groups had a clear Near Eastern cultural and genetic background and very little or no biological contact with indigenous hunter-gatherers for at least two millennia, despite considerable evidence of mutual material exchange. The archaeology of Neolithic Western Europe paints a highly complex picture of interaction and exchange from the Mesolithic to the Late Neolithic (including regional variability) and has been well described at the cultural level, but to date no genetic data is available to discuss biological interaction. the Danubian and Mediterranean stream) and encounters with autochthonous Mesolithic societies may have created this mosaic pattern of diversity as it is seen in the material culture. It is conceivable that the concurrence of the two main “streams” of the West European Neolithic expansion ( i.e. The idea is based on the realisation that we don’t have ancient genome-wide data from the region that circumscribes today’s France, see here:Īrchaeological research shows that the dispersal of the Neolithic took a more complex turn when reaching the western parts of Europe. Human interactions during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Western Europe: The dual perspectives of cultural and biological exchanges The project ‘ INTERACT‘ is a three-year, ANR/DFG-funded, joint project with French, German and Italian colleagues with the aim to shed light on the Meso-Neolithic transition in western Europe. ![]()
