Biomolecular analysis unpicks human story of Himalayan skeleton lake
Archaeological deposits subject to ancient DNA analysis, stable isotope dietary reconstruction, radiocarbon dating and osteological analysis
Researchers have put to bed a theory that skeletal remains from several hundred people surrounding a Himalayan lake in India were the result of a single catastrophic event. Rather, the skeletons were deposited up to 1000 years apart. And some may be the remains of travellers from the Mediterranean.
