The Marie Curie Initial Training Network "LeCHE" is a research project within the EU´s 7th Framework Program. It was startet in 2009 and will run until 2013.
LeCHE brings together 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESR, PhD students), 2 Experiences Researchers (ER, Post-Docs) and a number of PIs and visiting scientists.
The major, binding topic of the project is milk and its connection to dairying, husbandry, health, evolution and society.
The projects brings together archaeologists, zoo-archaeologist, researchers of genetics and proteomics, stable isotopes to combine their research efforts on these topics.

The trait of Lactase Persistence (the ability to digest milk as an adult) is an extreme positive selection in humans, but ancient DNA analyses reveals that it is absent in the first Neolithic farmers. To narrow down the date and region in which this genetic trait appeared more widespread in the population of Europe is one of the projects focal points.
