An international team of researchers from Germany, Georgia, Armenia, and Norway has analyzed ancient DNA from 230 individuals across 50 archaeological sites from Georgia and Armenia. Within the framework of the Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for the Archaeoscience of the Ancient Mediterranean, co-directed by Johannes Krause, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, and Philipp Stockhammer, Professor at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, this study reconstructs the genetic interactions of populations in the Southern Caucasus over time and down to the level of individual mobility.
