Mycenaean:I9041 is closer to Sicilians.@Jovialis, does I8215 (NE_Iberia_Greek (Empúries2)) have a GEDmatch kit number? If not, can we create one by using the file from ENA, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/SAMEA5229461? It would be interesting to test what @ihype02 mentioned. There are five samples from Empúries making the Aegean BA cluster (Empúries2), but I8215 is the one plotting the closest to the modern Sicilian, southern Italian, and Greek clusters. It also happens to be the oldest of the five, dated to 400-350 BCE.
Mycenaean:I9006 and Mycenaean:I9033 are really close to the Thracian.
And the Mycenean left shifts towards Minoans.

Palermo Trapani in post 113 is only a bit closer to I9006 and I9033 than to Bulgaria_IA.
PCAs are not meant to be taken 100% literally on a microscopic level. On an other academic PCA with lots of South Italians samples shows Myceneans as Sicilian-like population running towards Minoans and not overlapping with Sicilians, but still very close though.
