Late Bronze Age Life in Central Europe Reconstructed Using Ancient DNA

Excavations near Esperstedt reveal Bronze Age DNA.

The Late Bronze Age “Urnfield” world is famous for cremation – yet that very practice usually destroys the biological clues archaeologists need. Now, an international team has used rare inhumation burials (plus isotope work on cremations) to piece together how people in Central Europe lived, moved, ate, and died between roughly 1300 and 800 BC, in a time of major cultural change. Their results suggest continuity more than upheaval: local communities adopted new ideas – like millet and shifting burial rites – without being replaced by waves of newcomers reports the Max Planck Society.

Ancient Burials in a Cremation Age

Because cremation dominates the Urnfield period, the Late Bronze Age has long been a “blind spot” for biomolecular research. The new study published in Nature tackled that gap by focusing on inhumations from Central Europe, while also adding strontium isotope data from cremated people at key sites in central Germany.
