One grave holds a set of iron arrows near a man’s hip. A quiver probably once held the arrows at the man’s side, Aja suggested.
Researchers also uncovered ashes and bone fragments from six human cremations in sealed jars placed in pit graves.
At least eight stone burial chambers capped with stone slabs were also found. The largest chamber held skeletons of 23 individuals. These burial chambers were aligned in three rows that ran parallel to the coast, Aja said.
Tapered storage jars found in pit graves and burial chambers were influenced by pottery of the Canaanites,

, a nearby population along the Mediterranean coast, said team member Janling Fu of Harvard University.
Fu suspects the excavation is located at the cemetery’s edge. Considerable space between some burials suggests denser clusters of grave sites lie nearby,

, he proposed, raising the prospect of learning much more about how the Philistines treated their dead.
Although the excavation is in its early stages,

, it’s clear that Philistines buried at Ashkelon show signs of physiological stress,

, reported bioarchaeologist and team member Sherry Fox of Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Many individuals’ teeth have signs of growth interruptions caused by fever,

, malnutrition or a range of possible biological disorders, she said.
Relatively short average heights for people buried at Ashkelon — about 5 feet,

, 1 inch for men and 4 feet,

, 10 inches for women — also fit a scenario of biological stress,

, Fox said. Short stature and minimal height differences between men and women occur with population-wide stresses such as malnutrition, she said.

Inheriting immunity



Present-day people participating in the 1000 Genomes project inherited one of three versions,

, or haplotypes,

, of immunity genes. Neandertals passed haplotype III to all non-Africans, and some Asians also inherited Neandertal haplotype IV. Those versions of the immunity genes may have helped human ancestors fend off new pathogens, but now contribute to allergies.
Neandertal variants don’t usually fall within genes,

, instead affecting DNA that influences where,
cheap jordans
, when and how strongly genes are activated, Capra said. The Neandertal variants most strongly associated with depression were located near circadian clock genes,

, which synchronize the body’s rhythms with the sun, the researchers found. Other Neandertal variants affect activity of genes involved in bladder pain and incontinence and a gene that predisposes people to nicotine addiction. Knowing which parts of a person’s genome were inherited from Neandertals might help doctors better predict patients’ risk of disease,

, Capra says.
If Neandertal DNA is harmful, why is it still hanging around? It may not always have been a deficit, says Capra. His group found that Neandertal DNA is associated with a disorder in which the
