Funding

This project was funded by the European Research Council under the FP7-IDEAS-ERC Program (Grant 324249) MedPlag. Data analysis was performed on the Abel Cluster, owned by the University of Oslo and the Norwegian metacentre for High-Performance Computing (NOTUR) and operated by the Department for Research Computing at the University of Oslo IT department. This article has received funding from the University of Ferrara under the Bando per il finanziamento della ricerca scientifica "Fondo per l'Incentivazione alla Ricerca" (FIR)-2020. Permission to study the samples from San Procolo a Naturno was given by Ripartizione 13, Beni culturali, Ufficio Beni archeologici Provincia autonoma di Bolzano Alto Adige (Permission Nr. 36.10/360889). We thank Ulf Buntgen for valuable input and Raffaella Bianucci for initial involvement in the project. We would also like to thank the Estonian Biocentre and the University of Tartu High Performance Computing Center.
