ABSTRACT In this essay, we interrogate how aDNA analyses have been blended with the study of migrations in European prehistory. Genetic research into ancient populations has given archaeologists and geneticists a new and rich data-set that sparks media coverage and public fascination. Yet far right wing and racist political activists also report on and repeat the results of archaeogenetic studies because it bolsters their image of ‘Fortress Europe’ under threat from biologically distinct non-Europeans. We worry about the lack of action, even discussion, we perceive among archaeologists and archaeogeneticists faced with this ugly appropriation of their research. In order to address these concerns, we have taken a deliberately provocative style. Even as we realise that the politically questionable interpretive implications of aDNA research are most likely unintended, we strongly believe that we must acknowledge their power before we can ameliorate our approach.

欧洲遗传学，身份和移民考古的过去：一篇重要论文

摘要在本文中，我们探讨了如何将aDNA分析与欧洲史前移民研究相融合。对古代人口的遗传研究为考古学家和遗传学家提供了一个新的丰富数据集，引发了媒体的报道和公众的迷恋。然而，极右翼和种族主义政治活动家也报道并重复了考古研究的结果，因为它在生物学上不同的非欧洲人的威胁下增强了他们对“欧洲堡垒”的形象。我们担心缺乏行动，甚至没有讨论，我们在面对研究人员的这种丑陋拨款的考古学家和考古学家中认为。为了解决这些问题，我们采取了一种挑衅的风格。
