Multi-scale archaeogenetic study of two French Iron Age communities: From internal social- to broad-scale population dynamics

“…The limited number of individuals allowed to submit all of them to palaeogenetic analyses (S2 Table ). The diameter of the tumulus (approximately 30 m) as well as the absence of selection of the deceased according to age or sex or the majority of burials over cremation appeared consistent with necropolises observed for the same context (Baray, 2003;Marion et al, 2009). The combination of these characteristics with a short duration of use of the tumulus (200 years, based on metallic material, unpublished) allowed us to assume that the population recovered in the GLN tumulus was representative of the whole local community.…”
