This new concerns as well ancient DNA as History, but as they posted a picture of skull I made my mind to put it here. Moderators could break down this thread later according to the direction taken by forumers observations

The image below is of a skull from a Bell Beaker burial at Bee Low, Derbyshire, UK, dated to 2200–2030 cal BC. It belonged to a man whose "extremely low" oxygen isotope value of 16.2‰ matches that of the Amesbury Archer, and suggests that he may have been a migrant from a place with a cold and "continental" climate, possibly outside of Britain. You can read more about him in a new paper about British Beakers by Pearson et al. at Antiquity here. If you don't have academic access to journals, try the link here. Bell Beaker Blogger also has a useful summary of the paper here.

Abstract: The appearance of the distinctive ‘Beaker package’ marks an important horizon in British prehistory, but was it associated with immigrants to Britain or with indigenous converts? Analysis of the skeletal remains of 264 individuals from the British Chalcolithic–Early Bronze Age is revealing new information about the diet, migration and mobility of those buried with Beaker pottery and related material. Results indicate a considerable degree of mobility between childhood and death, but mostly within Britain rather than from Europe. Both migration and emulation appear to have had an important role in the adoption and spread of the Beaker package.
