Genome of Iron Age Thracian

[Sile]

The SNP I mentioned for green eyes it's not the only one. You should bear the specific mutations in many others to have green eyes. It was just an example.

You can find discussions in 23andme about this topic.

By the way, it would be interesting to see V2's, V8's and T2G2's pigmentation results. It doesn't suprise me at all to see high West Asian percents considering the place and the period. To me it looks more surprising to still find individuals who are so Basque/Sardinian-like there.

Sample P192-1 was found at the site of a pit sanctuary near Svilengrad, Bulgaria, excavated between 2004 and 2006. The pits are associated with the Thracian culture and date to the Early Iron Age (800–500 BC) based on pottery found in the pits. A total of 67 ritual pits, including 16 pits containing human skeletons or parts of skeletons, were explored during the excavations. An upper wisdom tooth from an adult male was used for DNA analysis.

Sample T2G2 was found in a Thracian tumulus (burial mound) near the village of Stambolovo, Bulgaria. Two small tumuli dating to the Early Iron Age (850–700 BC) were excavated in 2008. A canine tooth from an inhumation burial of a child (c.12 years old) inside a dolium was used for DNA analysis.

Sample V2 was found in a flat cemetery dating to the Late Bronze Age (1500–1100 BC) near the village of Vratitsa, Bulgaria. Nine inhumation burials were excavated between 2003 and 2004. A molar from a juvenile male (age 16–17) was used for DNA analysis.

Sample K8 was found in the Yakimova Mogila Tumulus, which dates to the Iron Age (450–400 BC), near Krushare, Bulgaria. An aristocratic inhumation burial containing rich grave goods was excavated in 2008. A molar from one individual, probably male, was used for DNA analysis.

V2 is the only one that shows any amount of decent Asian

V2
globe4

• 58.89% European
• 20.61% Asian
• 11.91% African
• 8.59% Amerindian

V2 is the oldest of the 4
but 192-1 is the only one with a confirmed ydna which is H1b1 ( romani are H1a group)

also note IIRC the old F3 ydna is now called ( part of ) H ydna

........................

As per Basque ............isn't the original basques only french basques and Pas_Vasco means community of Vasconic people and with this term vasconic is only modern Gascony area of france, which is ancient French basque area and the old original vasconic language started in Aquitaine which is now modern Gascony!

If I am not mistaken, wasn't there a Neolithic sample from Syria who also turned out as H1* ?

hm
can the H1b1 be an H-APT?

Firasat , Khalig, Papaioannou, Tyler-Smith, Underhill 2006
that case makes it interesting at least for me.
