Community differentiation is a fundamental topic of the social sciences, and its prehistoric origins in Europe are typically assumed to lie among the complex, densely populated societies that developed millennia after their Neolithic predecessors. Here we present the earliest, statistically significant evidence for such differentiation among the first farmers of Neolithic Europe. By using strontium isotopic data from more than 300 early Neolithic human skeletons, we find significantly less variance in geographic signatures among males than we find among females, and less variance among burials with ground stone adzes than burials without such adzes. From this, in context with other available evidence, we infer differential land use in early Neolithic central Europe within a patrilocal kinship system.

In contrast, basaltic eclogites 33 display significant depletion of Pt (≥60%), Pd (>85%) and Re (50-60%) compared with 34 published MORB, while Os, Ir and Ru abundances are broadly comparable. Thus, these data 35 suggest that only Pt, Pd and Re, and not Os, Ir and Ru, may be significantly fluxed into the 36 mantle wedge from mafic oceanic crust. Re-Os model ages for gabbroic and gabbroic 37 eclogite minerals are close to age estimates for igneous crystallisation and high-pressure 38 metamorphism, respectively, hence the HSE budgets can be related to both igneous and 39 metamorphic behaviour. The gabbroic budget of Os, Ir, Ru and Pd (but not Pt) is dominated 40 by sulphide, which typically hosts >90% of the Os, whereas silicates account for most of the 41Re (with up to 75% in plagioclase alone

[1] Analyses of basalts from the Galápagos archipelago and adjacent spreading center have shown that the underlying mantle plume is isotopically heterogeneous over length scales of 10s to 100s of km. We show that the convecting mantle is also compositionally heterogeneous on smaller length scales (kms). Our evidence comes from recent small-volume mildly alkaline and tholeiitic basalts on Isla Santiago, central Galá-pagos. Flows from volcanic vents <5 km apart are homogeneous in terms of incompatible-trace element and isotopic ratios but inter-vent variations in these ratios are large, such that Santiago basalts display some of the most extensive ranges known for any Galápagos island. Geochemical indexes of depth of melting correlate with an eastward decrease in geophysical estimates of lithospheric thickness-from 55 to 43 km over a $10 km horizontal distance beneath Isla Santiago-suggesting that melts have not undergone significant lateral transport in the underlying crust. This lithospheric 'step' below the center of the island generally results in a greater proportion of enriched mantle melts contributing to basalts from west Santiago, than to those in the east, due to less melting of more depleted mantle as the plume upwells beneath thicker lithosphere. Nevertheless, the sporadic occurrence of isotopically enriched flows with low [Sm/Yb] n, and more isotopically depleted compositions with elevated [Sm/Yb] n, across Santiago suggests that portions of the underlying Galápagos plume are compositionally heterogeneous in terms of enriched and depleted reservoirs over short length scales (kilometers). In this respect the Galápagos mantle plume is similar to plumes beneath Hawaii and Canary Islands.

[1] The Fonualei Spreading Center affords an excellent opportunity to evaluate geochemical changes with increasing depth to the slab in the Lau back-arc basin. We present H 2 O and CO 2 concentrations and Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf and U-Th-Ra isotope data for selected glasses as well as new Hf isotope data from boninites and seamounts to the north of the Tonga arc. The Pb and Hf isotope data are used to show that mantle flow is oriented to the southwest and that the tear in the northern end of the slab may not extend east as far as the boninite locality. Along the Fonualei Spreading Center, key geochemical parameters change smoothly with increasing distance from the arc front and increasing slab surface temperatures. The latter may range from 720 to 866 C, based on decreasing H 2 O/Ce ratios. Consistent with experimental data, the geochemical trends are interpreted to reflect changes in the amount and composition of wet pelite melts or super-critical fluids and aqueous fluids derived from the slab. With one exception, all of the lavas preserve both 238 U excesses and 226 Ra excesses. We suggest that lavas from the Fonualei Spreading Center and Valu Fa Ridge are dominated by fluid-fluxed melting whereas those from the East and Central Lau Spreading Centers, where slab surface temperatures exceed $850-900 C, are largely derived through decompression. A similar observation is found for the Manus and East Scotia back-arc basins and may reflect the expiry of a key phase such as lawsonite in the subducted basaltic crust.
