The Iron Age saw the expansion of Phoenician and Greek colonies across the Mediterranean and the rise of Carthage as the major maritime power of the region. These events were facilitated by the ease of long-distance travel following major advances in seafaring. We know from the archaeological record that trade goods and materials were moving across great distances in unprecedented quantities, but it is unclear how these patterns correlate with human mobility. To investigate population mobility and interactions directly, we sequenced the genomes of 30 ancient individuals from Carthaginian and Etruscan port cities around the central Mediterranean, in Tunisia, Sardinia, and central Italy. At all three locations, there is a meaningful contribution of autochthonous populations (from Bronze Age North Africa, Sardinia, and Italy, respectively), as well as highly heterogeneous ancestry including many individuals with ancestry from other parts of the Mediterranean region. These results highlight both the role of autochthonous populations and the extreme interconnectedness of populations in the Iron Age Mediterranean. By studying these trans-Mediterranean neighbors together, we explore the complex interplay between local continuity and mobility that shaped the Iron Age societies of the central Mediterranean.

While many papers have suggested the Near Eastern and European components resulted from recent historical movements, such as Arab rule in Medieval North Africa and trans-Mediterranean trade in the last 500 years, we see evidence for these components being present in North Africa in the Iron Age, around 2,500 years ago."

The high number of individuals with North African ancestry from central Italy may reflect the close connections between Carthage and the Etruscans, both through trade and also as allies facing common adversaries, especially Greek and Roman Imperial expansion.

This is consistent with archaeological evidence of Punic expansion and connections between the Etruscans with Punic territories. Interestingly, while southern Italy is geographically closer to North Africa, it may not have been as integrated into the network of Carthaginian allies and key trading partners. In particular, our findings support and add temporal resolution to previous suggestions based on modern data (27, 30) that the Iron Age was a key time for trans-Mediterranean mobility and connectivity between the regions we today call northern Africa and southern Europe. Supporting this, the presence of a number of individuals similar to contemporaneous Italian and Greek populations at Kerkouane suggests a bidirectional movement of people, especially within the central Mediterranean.

Spend some time playing. I'm interested in finding out more because I have strong views about it. Would you please provide more details to your blog post? We will all actually gain from it.

The samples from Tarquinia dating from the Roman Republic are overwhelmingly R1b. Two individuals, R10337 and R10341, are recent immigrants from the Near East. They described as autosomally Levantine and so is there Y-DNA (J1a and R2a).

The samples from Tarquinia dating from the Roman Republic are overwhelmingly R1b. Two individuals, R10337 and R10341, are recent immigrants from the Near East. They described as autosomally Levantine and so is there Y-DNA (J1a and R2a).

Tarquinia was a major Etruscan city , about 160 BC it became a Roman colonia, those two samples are from this period.
 
Francesco correctly noted we have a thread on this paper already. In addition, I have been following this paper over at bioRxiv and on 28 January 2023, I received a notification that an updated version of the paper was available.
 
here is the paper

interesting is

Genetic Evidence for connection across the Central Mediterranean

In Iron Age Italy, consistent with the findings of Posth et al. 2021, we observe a combination of genetic continuity from the Bronze Age population, along with a drastic increase in genetic heterogeneity compared to the Bronze Age. Of the 22 Iron Age central Italian genomes, 12 individuals form a clade in the qpWave and qpAdm analyses (Figs. 4, 5) with Bronze Age central Italian individuals, and thus can be modeled as deriving 100% of their ancestry from Bronze Age central Italians.

It is always the same paper that has been published at least 10 times.

I don't remember the exact dating of all the stages of the Romanisation of Tarquinia, but yes, the two individuals, R10337 and R10341, who are recent immigrants from the Near East, chronologically belong to the Romanisation phase of the area.
 
not sure if to place here

but

BRC003 - Grottina dei Covoloni del Broion, Italy🧬Y-DNA: R-S8183
R-S8183 distribution in different countries🧬mtDNA: U4a2f


This marker is the exact same as the man my father sister married............I speak to one of their sons, Lucio about 6 times a year ...................he tested on 23andme


just proves , some markers have never moved since the bronze and iron ages
