Overview

T. Douglas Price is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines with a focus on Earth and Planetary Sciences, Arts and Humanities, and Social Sciences. Within these broad fields, they have contributed extensively to subfields such as Paleontology, Archeology, Genetics, Anthropology, and Ecology.

The main topics of Price's research include Archaeology and ancient environmental studies, Forensic Anthropology and Bioarchaeology Studies, Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology, Forensic and Genetic Research, Isotope Analysis in Ecology, Pacific and Southeast Asian Studies, and Ancient and Medieval Archaeology Studies.

Price's recent publications highlight a focus on population genetics and ancient DNA analysis. Key papers include:

  • Population genomics of post-glacial western Eurasia, 2024, published in Nature
  • 100 ancient genomes show repeated population turnovers in Neolithic Denmark, 2024, published in Nature
  • Genomic Steppe ancestry in skeletons from the Neolithic Single Grave Culture in Denmark, 2021, published in PLoS ONE
  • Tracking the transition to agriculture in Southern Europe through ancient DNA analysis of dental calculus, 2021, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Wild cereal grain consumption among Early Holocene foragers of the Balkans predates the arrival of agriculture, 2021, published in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Frequent co-authors in Price's work include Karl-Göran Sjögren, Morten E. Allentoft, Martin Sikora, Anders Fischer, and Lasse Sørensen. These collaborations suggest a strong network within archaeological genetics and bioarchaeology research communities.

Price has contributed to several publication venues with multiple works published in Nature, Journal of Archaeological Science Reports, PLoS ONE, Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, and Antiquity.

An authored book titled Advance archeology of Staraya Ladoga was published in 2022 under the Федеральное государственное бюджетное учреждение науки Институт истории материальной культуры Российской академии наук eBooks.

In recognition of their scientific contributions, Price was named a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2018.
