"R1a subclades and Bronze Age migrations on the Eurasian steppes" (December 2015)
I've just stumbled upon this new paper:
Csaba Barnabas Horvath, "R1a subclades and Bronze Age Migrations on the Eurasian Steppes":
http://eujournal.org/index.php/esj/article/viewFile/6837/6563
When discussing the oldest known samples, the author didn't mention Khvalynsk R1a from Mathieson:
I guess it wasn't yet available when he was writing this paper, because missing it would be unlikely.
============================
The author of this paper thinks, that R1a samples will show up in Ukrainian regions of Yamnaya.
So far all Yamna samples are from Russia, some people expect R1b-L51 in Ukrainian part.

- 10433 / SVP46 (grave 1)
Male (confirmed genetically), age 30-35, positioned on his back with raised knees, with a
copper ring and a copper bead. His R1a1 haplotype shows that this haplotype was present in
the region, although it is not represented later in high-status Yamnaya graves. His U5a1i
MtDNA haplotype is part of a U5a1 group well documented in the Samara series.
I guess it wasn't yet available when he was writing this paper, because missing it would be unlikely.
