The prehistoric origins of Orcadian cultural exchange networks: biomolecular and morphometric studies of Orkney voles

奥克尼田鼠（Microtus arvialis orcadensis）是唯一一种由新石器时代的农民引入不列颠群岛的非家畜。通过分析现代和古代遗骸的牙齿形状和DNA的异同，我们将探索它们在史前的地理起源，这反过来将为奥克尼岛早期人类居民的欧洲大陆起源和交流网络提供重要的新信息。

The Orkney vole (Microtus arvialis orcadensis) is unique to being the only non-domestic animal introduced into the British Isles by Neolithic farmers. By analysing the differences/ similarities in tooth shape and DNA from their modern and ancient remains, we will explore their geographic origins in prehistory, which in turn will provide important new information about the continental European origins and exchange networks of the early human inhabitants of Orkney.
