Scientists have long suspected that Danube foragers and their farming neighbors gathered at Lepenski Vir to exchange stories and ideas, and probably to find mates. The strontium analysis, published in a 2013 PNAS paper, supports this idea. Of the 45 remains tested, 10 belonged to women who came from Anatolia, presumably as part of the farming communities — a head-turning number in what is essentially a forager settlement. Adding to the mystery, three of those women were buried in the hunter-gatherer manner.
The discovery suggests the casual manner in which farming spread, says Bori, co-author of the paper. “It is very likely that Neolithic women coming into the forager settlements spread [farming] skills,” he says.
Lepenski Vir’s most intriguing human burial is that of 7/I — the large-framed man, likely in his 50s, that some researchers believe was born a hunter and died a farmer. He was laid to rest beneath a building’s plaster floor, with the detached skull of another individual placed over his left shoulder.
NOTE: this happened in Southern Europe as it apears in the North HGs use to sell their women to the farmers. Of course at the start of the metal age strange Steppes IE peoples appear and took all the bitches without paying ( almost no Indoeuropean mtDNA) .
I want more info on the EHG and MEF trading. That sounds very interesting.
I have no idea how to time stamp videos
