This is a 2009 study already discussed before. I only noticed the list of mtDNA results now though.
Ancient DNA Reveals Lack of Continuity between Neolithic Hunter-Gatherers and Contemporary Scandinavians
Two populations were studied here. The first is Neolithic/Chalcolithic from the Frälsegården site (Funnel Beaker, 3500-2500 BCE) in Sweden. The three results were typical of what I expected from Near-Eastern farmers : J, T and H.
All the other results, 20 persons in total, come from sites in Gotland, Sweden, and are from the later bronze-age Pitted Ware (2800-2000 BCE), also known as Corded-Ware or Battle-Axe culture. This is the culture that I linked to the expansion of R1a1a from the Russian forest-steppe to central Europe and Finno-Scania. Now this is very interesting because these bronze-age newcomers belong to very different haplogroups : U4 (5 samples), U5 or U5a (3 of each), as well as one V, one K, and one T (+ two unidentified haplogroups). This is in perfect accordance with the Indo-European haplogroups I predicted based on other studies.
Note the absence of haplogroup H in the 20 samples from Gotland. Nowadays H makes up about 45% of the Scandinavian lineages. U2, U3, U4 and U5 total 16% in Sweden and Norway and 22% in Denmark. It's hard to tell and Near-Eastern from Indo-European T and K apart, but it looks like approximately 2/3 of the modern Scandinavian maternal lineages could be of Neolithic or Paleolithic origin, while 1/3 would be later Indo-European arrivals.
The only occurrence of lactase persistence was obviously found among the Pitted/Corded-Ware sample.
