The designation of the find as "E1b1b1a1b" is a direct quote from the paper.
Going by this chart in Wiki, E1b1b1a1b* is E-V13. Does that clarify matters? It would definitely be good if they could reanalyze the sample and give a snp designation so we know the specific subclade, but unless this chart is wrong, isn't it definitely E-V13? Does anyone know if Ray Banks has a chart like this and if it differs?

This might still be a sub-clade of E-V13 that went extinct, of course, but we have so few ancient Neolithic samples, when you think of it, that there's no way of knowing yet, and certainly not if we don't get very refined subclade identification.
