An international team of geneticists, led by those from Trinity College Dublin, has joined forces with archaeologists from Bournemouth University to decipher the structure of British Iron Age society,

Some scholars have suggested that the Romans exaggerated the liberties of women on the British Isles to imply that this was a more uncivilized society. However, this genetic and skeletal evidence implies that women were likely influential and could have been shaping group identity through matrilineal lines.

The social fabric of Iron Age Britain, spanning roughly from 800 BC to AD 100, has long puzzled historians and archaeologists. Recent breakthroughs in genetic analysis are now shedding light on the lives and social structures of these ancient communities.

Scientists analysing 2,000-year-old DNA have revealed that a Celtic society in the southern UK during the Iron Age was centred around women, backing up accounts from Roman historians, a study said Wednesday.

A study carried out by a team of international geneticists, led by researchers from TCD, has found evidence that land was inherited through the female line during the Iron Age in Britain.

A new study has revealed that women inherited land in Iron Age Britain and husbands moved to live with their wife’s community. A team of geneticists made the discovery by analysing the DNA from a set of burial grounds in Dorset which date back to the Roman conquest of AD43.

Russia says it has detected a shift from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and his team towards recognising the "realities" on the ground in Ukraine, and sees this as a welcome sign as it prepares to study his plan for ending the war.

Genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery in southern Britain shows that women were closely related while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after

Scientists uncover evidence that women controlled land, power, and marriage DUBLIN — Scientists have made a remarkable discovery about women’s roles in ancient British society by analyzing DNA from skeletal remains dating back about 2,
