A new dataset has appeared online from a yet to be published paper titled
Cosmopolitanism in the depths of Barbaricum evidenced by archaeogenomic data from the Late Iron Age Goth community of the Masłomęcz group.
Most of these Gothic samples are clearly of Scandinavian origin, and very similar to present-day Swedes. Overall, however, they create a somewhat heterogeneous cluster that also overlaps with present-day Poles thanks to the presence of a few Balto-Slavic-related and possibly Roman-related individuals.
The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) plots below were produced with the excellent
Vahaduo G25 Global Views tool using the data
here.
Their Y-haplogroups more or less reflect the PCA results:
PL046 R-YP6228
PL048 I-PH833
PL049 I-A11537
PL052 R-Y48961
PL059 I-PH833
PL062 I-S15301
PL065 I-Y294193
PL066 R-FGC2555
PL067 R-S7759
PL070 I-CTS10028
PL071 I-BY316

Looks like one of the R1a is broadly TCC-related (Lusatian?), while another is decidedly Baltic. The rest is Scandinavian.

PL072 basically looks like someone from the East Baltic Bronze Age.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be interesting to find out the isotopes for this individual to try and figure out where people like this existed at the time.
Without PL072:

@Arza
ReplyDeleteWhich samples did you use for that?
Anyway, it might be a coincidence, because mixing Baltic, Germanic and some southern European groups often produces a very Polish-like result.
