一项分析多塞特郡墓地古代 DNA 的新研究表明，在前罗马凯尔特人的英国，女性是社交网络的核心，三分之二的人将血统追溯到单一的母系。 A new study analyzing ancient DNA from a Dorset cemetery reveals that in pre-Roman Celtic Britain, women were central to social networks, with two-thirds of individuals tracing lineage to a single maternal line. 这种男性加入妻子社区的母系模式表明女性管理土地和财产，表明社会比以前认为的更加平等。 This matrilocal pattern, where men joined their wives' communities, suggests women managed land and property, indicating a more egalitarian society than previously thought.
