I was more interested in this tidbit I gather from Anthrogenica Ariel90 From the supplementary material: "T. 68 (R1557) is described (Mercando et al. 1982) as a single earthen grave with an E-W orientation. The disposition of the bones in the image provided and the indication of the presence...

Any comments on these new Urbino samples? They seem very specific to Southern Italy

I think this highly educated argument made in the first post is nonetheless missing the finer points of religious thought. At best it could be argued ritual cannibalism has persisted as a subconscious cultural relic, not that it is glorified.

The Christian Communion is something that pertains to the spiritual realm or spiritual ideas...not corpse munching

Unless I'm mistaken "Tenea" is Dorian land while the two nobles "Archontiko" are Macedonian, both very low steppe

Iron Age Greeks (leak?) Tried to ask moderators but private message function doesn't seem to work. Are leaks allowed here? Iron Age Greeks seem Mycenean-like, with elite samples as well

Angela I can see your point and why you feel so strongly and yet genetics is bound to attract varying degrees of indentitarians, not only those who are intellectually curious. There's also the extreme of the extreme on the internet and I feel your post is not going to make them see reason, if...

Thanks for the info Pax. Surprised Calabria is overlooked, I feel the Oenotrians and/or the populous Greek colonies would solve the puzzle

Is there going to be a comprehensive study on Sicily/Calabria any time soon? Not sure how anyone can draw conclusions on Southern Italian genetics without these two regions.

After the recent paper on the Etruscans the darkest corners of the internet are running amok with wild theories about Southern Italians, in particular that they are rootless people who where imported as slaves from the Levant among other theories that probably can't be posted here. In light of...
