RISE431, Leki Male, 2286-2048 BC (proto-Unetice) - he had R1a haplogroup: do we know what exact subclade of R1a was that ???
Concerning Leki Male burial site:
"Kurgan Cemetery in Leki Male - Unique Necropolis of Unetice Culture" (in Polish), by Iwona Hildebrandt-Radke (Poznan University):
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...zysko_kurhanowe.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=pl
English abstract: "The burial mound in Łęki Małe is located on the northern side of the Warta–Obra Pradolina, in the plateau cut through by Mogilnica river. An esker adjoins this valley from the west. This elevation, looming over its vicinity, was used as the barrow burial ground. It constituted the most distinctive element of this lowland landscape. The burials of the Unetice culture people, of Early Bronze Age, took place there. Until nowadays four barrows have survived which is a bit more than 20 % of the whole necropolis. The tumuli differ in construction and equipment of main graves, in size of earth-mounds as well as in structure and inside collections of side graves. The unique form of the veneration of the dead may be the significance of social and material diversification within the Únìtice community. The barrows were burial places of the privileged."
Key words: Early Bronze Age, prehistoric burial mound, barrows, earthwork, chamber tomb
=============================
RISE431 was found in barrow IV, which is the largest of four surviving kurgans (originally there were 11, but Germans destroyed 7).
Ancestral Journeys website only says that RISE431 was R1a1a1 M417. And his mtDNA was T2e.
Was it impossible to test his Y-DNA further downstream? Because he surely wasn't basal M417, was he?
