Twenty-five thousand-year-old triple burial from Dolní Věstonice: An ice-age family?

Abstract: In 1986 a paleolithic triple burial was discovered near Dolní Vĕstonice (Czech Republic). The occurrence of anatomic variants in all three skeletons gave rise to speculations that the buried individuals may have been closely related. To test this hypothesis the skeletons were submitted to a systematic kinship analysis based on odontologic and other non-metric traits. Statistical tests showed that the coincident occurrence of several rare traits in the individuals is highly unlikely to occur at random. This and… Show more

“…43 Thus the results have been of a more or less tentative nature. The case of the Königsfeld individuals presented an ideal opportunity of showing that kinship structures in skeletal remains can most feasibly be validated by examining the genetic variation between individuals.…”

“…Archeological and morphological evidence has often been used to estimate the kinships of ancient human skeletal specimens. [44][45][46][47][48] However, it is difficult to examine the kinship with accuracy based on only morphological evidence. In this study, DNA analyses on the remains, which have involved some interesting data in previous archeological and morphological studies, were carried out to investigate the relationship between burial style and kinships at the Doigahama site.…”

“…Se concluyó que había compatibilidad entre los datos ante mortem y los datos arqueológicos (localización del enterramiento, número y distribución de los esqueletos), así como entre los datos ante mortem y los datos osteológicos (estimación de sexo y edad), y sabiendo que en el grupo de siete hombres había un grupo de tres hermanos, se prestó especial interés al hecho de que tres de los siete esqueletos presentaban una variante anatómica en el atlas, el arco dorsal (Figura 4), que puede indicar relación de parentesco (ALT, 1997;RÍOS et al, 2010). La prevalencia del arco dorsal se sitúa entre el 9% (arco completo) y el 17% (completos e incompletos) de media , y presenta cierto componente genético (SAUNDERS y POPOVICH, 1978).…”
