They sampled a whole 14 skeletons from two sub-populations and based on that concluded the gene had not yet appeared in the region at all?

Please tell me this is just bad reporting.

A woman's remains would be about the last thing I'd expect to find in a bronze-age battlefield, but out of 14, they found 2. Considering the ubiquity of lactase persistence for centuries, not finding 1 instance on either side is surprising.

I thought the whole point of yoghurt and cheese is that the lactose is fermented out (ie not present).

And no one can actually drink raw milk fresh from the udder either? Enough contamination must occur for the enzymes to be produced for regular people to be able to drink it, I thought.

No, the milk processing doesn't really do anything like that. The primary problem with raw milk (and why selling it is heavily regulated/banned in many places) is pathogens/bacteria, not that it can't be digested.
