Kinship and Early Neolithic chambered tombs in the Cotswolds and beyond.

Professor Chris Fowler, University of Newcastle

Professor Fowler describes recent aDNA studies into the kinship relations between individuals buried in Early Neolithic chambered tombs on the Cotswolds. The results show a complex set of relationships between many of the individuals and allow an interpretation of the factors determining who was buried in the tomb and where they were buried within it.
