Abstract
Summary of the research findings
The collective burials of the late Neolithic in Western Europe have raised many questions regarding funerary practices, with interpretations ranging from successive primary deposits to secondary deposits. To shed new light on these practices, we performed genetic analyses on a collective burial discovered at Mas Rouge (Montpellier, France), dated to the end of the 4th millennium BCE.
