Senās DNS analīžu pielietojums Latvijas teritorijas dzelzs laikmeta apbedījumu raksturojumā
2022
Darba mērķis: analizēt Latvijas teritorijā iegūto arheoloģisko osteoloģisko materiālu, veicot senās DNS analīzi, lai novērtētu endogēnās DNS saglabātības pakāpi un paplašinātu esošās zināšanas par Daugavas un Mēmeles krastus apdzīvojušo iedzīvotāju ģenētisko izcelsmi. Tika veikta mtDNS haplogrupu sastopamības izpēte senās DNS paraugiem, gan izmantojot publicētus rezultātus, gan veicot senās DNS analīzi dzelzs laikmeta paraugiem. Dzelzs laikmetā Latvijas teritorijā konstatējamas jaunas mtDNS haplogrupas, kas sakrīt ar līdzīgi datētām arī citur Baltijas jūras reģionā. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir efektīvas, tomēr nelielais mtDNS haplogrupu rezultātu skaits var tikt saistīts ar zemu senās DN…
The Hungarian Case: From Natio to the Ersatz Nation-State
2009
The Kingdom of Hungary had been part of the Habsburg realms since 1526 when the Sultan Suleyman I the Magnificent (ruled 1520–1566) defeated the Hungarian armies at Mohacs. The King of Hungary and Bohemia, Louis II (ruled 1516–1526), died in the battle. Due to the dynastic agreement between the Jagiellonians and the Habsburgs, the latter were to take over Hungary and the Czech lands should the former fail to produce male heirs. In the other case, the Jagiellonians could hope for the imperial throne in Vienna. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Empire seized most of Hungary proper, including Buda (1541), the seat of Hungarian Kings. Foreseeing this outcome, the Habsburgs had already moved the capital o…
Palaeogenetics and cultural heritage. Species determination and STR-genotyping from ancient DNA in art and artefacts
2000
Abstract In recent years, a few papers have addressed the palaeogenetic analysis of cultural, historical and archaeological artefacts. We provide an overview of the individual published articles and then describe the results we had in the framework of a palaeogenetic research project involving various historical and prehistoric finds from museums, archaeological excavations, and libraries. We show that ancient DNA can be isolated from most of the various biomaterials (leather, parchment, glue, binding media, crusted organic plant remains in containers). Short pieces of degraded DNA are used, on the one hand, to determine the organic remnant’s genus/species of origin, and on the other hand, …
A population genetics view of animal domestication
2012
The fundamental shift associated with the domestication of plants and animals allowed for a dramatic increase in human population sizes and the emergence of modern society. Despite its importance and the decades of research devoted to studying it, questions regarding the origins and processes of domestication remain. Here, we review recent theoretical advances and present a perspective that underscores the crucial role that population admixture has played in influencing the genomes of domestic animals over the past 10000 years. We then discuss novel approaches to generating and analysing genetic data, emphasising the importance of an explicit hypothesis-testing approach for the inference of…
Ancient mitochondrial DNA analyses of Iberian sturgeons
2009
Summary Today’s European sturgeons are relics of erstwhile widely distributed populations, diminished mainly by overfishing and habitat changes over the centuries. While extinct European populations in the Baltic and North seas have been identified as Acipenser oxyrhinchus or A. sturio, a clear species determination on the Iberian Peninsula is still lacking. Plans to conserve existing populations and to re-introduce extinct wild populations in European rivers will benefit from information of historic population/genotype composition. In this study, we used techniques involving ancient DNA as well as morphological comparisons based on bony scutes to identify twelve samples from five archaeolo…
Response to Comment on "Ancient DNA from the First European Farmers in 7500-Year-Old Neolithic Sites"
2006
The discovery of mitochondrial type N1a in Central European Neolithic skeletons at a high frequency enabled us to answer the question of whether the modern population is maternally descended from the early farmers instead of addressing the traditional question of the origin of early European farmers.

Le aree funerarie cristiane
2017
This paper shows the data edited and acquired in June and October 2010 by surveys in Sabratha made by researchers at the University of Palermo, in collaboration whit the CNR ITABC for the PRIN 2008 Project. It consists of a preliminary study for an archaeological gis of Sabratha to promote analysis regarding the riuse of space in the Regiones III-V of Sabratha, after the destruction attribuited to the earthquake on 21th July 365. In particular, the paper presents the results of the first study concerning the catacomb in the eastern suburbs, the sub-divo funerary areas between the churches 3 and 4 and the so-called Baths ofOceanus, the necropolis sub-divo North-East of the Theater and, final…
Returning to musical universals - Question of equidistant scale
2009
It is widely accepted that asymmetries in intervals of the musical scale (i.e., inequalities of the interval steps) serve as “orientation points so that we can know ‘where’ we are in the scale” (Krumhansl, Snyder). This feature is often treated as universal (Dowling, Harwood, Trehub, etc.). At the same time, there is evidence of equitonics (equidistant scales) in various world musics. Examples of equitonics can be found in European folk music (Grainger, Sachs, Sevåg, etc.), as well as in “exotic” music cultures. Often such scales are anchored on a framework of a fourth or fifth (i.e. the strongest consonances) and filled in with “loosely-knit” (Grainger) intermediate tones. The result is "a…
