The new paper shows the North West European wetlands hosted a people who were half native Hunter-Gatherer, thousands of years after the pure HG population was thought to have disappeared.

The local introgression of the Anatolian farmer ancestry was via females. This art by Ryan Murray imagines how such a union might have appeared.

Here are some pictures of the sword. The runes are barely visible on the x ray of the blade

there’s a new Anglo-Saxon site excavated in Kent and it included a male burial with a runic sword:

“The exceptionally well-preserved weapon dates to the sixth century A.D. and features a silver and gilt hilt and a blade inscribed with runic inscriptions”

None of the articles on the find show the sword or mention what the inscription says. They are all just adverts for some BBC programme with Alice Roberts.

Rather odd that they can ransom our heritage by getting exclusive rights to it. Still not paying for a tv license.

This new paper proves the low countries between Belgium and the Elbe river are of special importance historically, not only because of Anglo-Saxons,but this region was important for the formation of the Bell Beaker people in the late Neolithic.…

The paper also finds that before Bell Beaker, the initial Indo-European culture of the region was introduced by Corded Ware but this was not accompanied by much steppe gene flow. Rather the unique swampy ecology meant that the WHG rich “farmer”population weren’t actually farming much and still lived an older lifestyle depending on wetland resources.

The locals somehow adopted aspects of IE culture while retaining their unique (50% WHG) racial profile represented by the yellow triangles on the PCA.

Finally the refugia of WHG rich swamp people was absorbed into the new Bell Beaker culture which went on to colonise Britain and Ireland
