Salento/Angela: Those distances for a sample 5,300 years old are good (Otzi). Salento, thanks again for that Coia et al 2016 paper on Otzi, that was one that I had not read yet. I am sure the paper linked below is one you both have read but it is good to go back to it as 4,000 BC, EEF/Neolithic ancestry was all across Italy and Europe. I have also been looking for a paper that clearly analyzes the Sicilian_Bell Beaker. The 2nd paper that I linked does not, best I can tell. None of the calculators, to my knowledge, have Otzi and Sicilian_Bell Beaker in the same data set. I was wondering hoe far distance wise Otzi and Sicilian Bell Beaker are from each other? Looking at Figure 1 in Olade et al 2018, Sicililan_Bell Beaker is Anatolian Neolithic and Otzi would plot in the Early European Neolithic?

Otzi is the Sicilian (Beaker) I4930 Top Match, but the files are small:
