A case more, no conspirancy, just a fiasco:
No steppe ancestry, four Y-DNA results, two being R1b, one G2a, another I2a. For the last two in Catalonia there are levels of 10% for each, for the other two R1b of course would be rare clades, isn't?
Have found the trick? The hypogeum had four buriyng times separated by layers, being those associated with Bell Beakers the superior three. I0826 was I2a2 and has a date that could be assigned to the pre-Bell Beaker period, and the individual I0261, with Y-DNA R1b could be found in whichever period... If I0826 is keept out from the equation we could have a 66% R1b, a similar percent as the actual, and remember, of the same clade as the continental Bell Beakers...
52 Paris Street (Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain)
53 Contact person: Joan Francès Farré
54 During urban construction work at Paris Street in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Vallès
55 Occidental, Barcelona province) in 2003, a large amount of skeletal material and
56 associated pottery was unearthed. Follow-up excavation uncovered a Chalcolithic
57 hypogeum with more than 9,000 human remains as well as lithic and ceramic material,
58 the latter assigned to the Bell Beaker tradition18
59 The hypogeum displays several occupational phases. The oldest one presented an ash
60 layer underlying the first inhumations that could have a ritualistic significance. Charcoal
61 from that basal layer was dated to 2878-2496 calBCE (4110±60 BP, UBAR-817). The
62 first funerary phase (UE-15) shows a large number of successive inhumations (minimal
63 number of individuals 36) that are still in anatomical position, placed in lateral
64 decubitus and with flexed knees. Seven arrow points were retrieved from this layer. A
65 thin, upper layer (UE-5) probably represents a re-organization of the existing funerary
66 space, prior to the second funerary phase (UE-2). At UE-5, two Bell Beaker vessels of
67 maritime style were retrieved. The UE-2 layer comprises fewer inhumations, and all of
68 them were accompanied by typical Bell Beaker vessels: three in Maritime style, and two
69 in epi-Maritime style. There were also numerous additional pieces of diverse typology.
70 Over this layer, a final one, labelled UE-3, contained two more skeletons arranged over
71 riverbed pebbles with a Bell Beaker vessel of a regional style known as "Pyrenaic". A
72 bone from this layer yielded the youngest date in the hypogeum of 2469-2206 calBCE
73 (3870±45 BP, UBAR-860). We recovered ancient DNA data from 10 individuals:
74 I0257/10362A: 2571–2350 calBCE (3965±29 BP, MAMS-25937)
75 I0258/10367A: 2850–2250 BCE
76 I0260/10370A: 2850–2250 BCE
77 I0261/10378A: 2850–2250 BCE
78 I0262/10381A: 2850–2250 BCE
79 I0263/10385A: 2850–2250 BCE
80 I0823/10360A: 2850–2250 BCE
81 I0825/10394A: 2474–2300 calBCE (3915±29 BP, MAMS-25939)
82 I0826/10400A: 2833–2480 calBCE (4051±28 BP, MAMS-25940)
83 I1553/10388A: 2850–2250 BCE
