"[FONT="]Campeche, one of the Spanish Empire's main Mexican ports, was a place where previously distinct cultures and populations intermingled during the colonial era (AD 1540–1680). Investigation of the town's central plaza revealed a Hispanic cemetery of multi-ethnic burials. The authors combine previous analyses with newly generated genome-wide data from 10 individuals to trace detailed life histories of the mostly young, local Indigenous Americans and first-generation European and African immigrants, none of whom show evidence of genetic admixture. These results provide insights into the individual lives and social divides of the town's founder communities and demonstrate how ancient DNA analyses can contribute to understanding early colonial encounters."
"[/FONT][FONT="]Macroscopic assessments revealed both male and female adolescents and adults, the majority of whom died before reaching their fifth decade. The combined studies point to elevated rates of metabolic and inflammatory conditions, as evidenced by cranial porotic hyperostosis, dental enamel hypoplasia and periosteal reactions. Developmental physiological stress seems to have been a common feature, especially among the local population—even surpassing those recorded for their pre-Hispanic Maya peers (Cucina [/FONT]Reference Cucina, Tiesler, Zabala and Cucina2010[FONT="]; Tiesler [/FONT]et al.[FONT="] [/FONT]Reference Tiesler2015[FONT="])."
"[/FONT][FONT="]These analyses reveal that, while most of the individuals cluster together as an unadmixed Native Campeche population, there are outliers, including one unadmixed European individual and one unadmixed African individual."
If I'm reading this correctly, the European, a man, carried I2a2a1b and mtDna X2, and he likely came from southwestern Spain, which comports with records of the period as to the source of the first Spanish migrants to New Spain. Interestingly, "[/FONT][FONT="]Concave wear was observed between his right canine and first premolar. This indicates that a round, abrasive object was habitually kept at the same spot between the two arches, suggesting regular use of a tobacco pipe ([/FONT]Figure 9[FONT="])."[/FONT]
