Yes / DNA analysis demonstrates that all seven individuals buried in an Early Iron Age barrow at
Dolge njive, southeast Slovenia, are close biological relatives. Although group composition
does not suggest strict adherence to a patrilineal or matrilineal kinship system, the funerary
tradition appears highly gendered, with family links through both the male and female line
being important in structuring communities. We explore the implications for our
understandings of kinship and funerary practices in Early Iron Age southeast Europe. / This research forms part of ENTRANS: a collaborative project involving the Universities of Bradford, Zagreb and Ljubljana, and the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.
