Perdigões
is still enlarging its range of scientific collaborations. We are now starting
a partnership with the project “Beaker origins: Testing the hypothesis of late
Neolithic dispersals from Iberia using both ancient and contemporary
mitochondrial genomes”, a Portuguese
Science Foudation financed project from Minho University (Environmental and
Molecular Biology Center), and with a PhD thesis being made in the context of
the Leverhulme Trust doctoral scholarship programme at Huddersfield University
entitled Genetic Journeys into History: The Next Generation (running
2015–2020).
Meanwhile,
a synthesis about the Bell Beaker phenomena at Perdigões will be presented at a
meeting to be held in the University of Lisbon next May.
