Mitochondrial lineages in Iron Age Fennoscandinavia
A new study has been published, Human mitochondrial DNA lineages in Iron-Age Fennoscandia suggest incipient admixture and eastern introduction of farming-related maternal ancestry . It includes several new samples from Iron Age Finland and also historical Finnish samples for a comparison purpose. Some of these mitochondrial samples are far too rare to reveal statistically anything, some are too common. Best we can do is to try to find results implying something regional and I try to find them and compare them to present-day samples gathered from FamilyTreeDna's projects. Unfortunately those projects are biased to West Europe due to the testing activity, yet we can see distribution patterns inside Fennoscandinavia, because Finland is one of the best tested country. I am not going to make conclusions, because I don't see any sense to try to connect only 1000 years old Finnish samples to any European wide prehistoric events, I just show results. When I have more time I will gather more results, if it sounds reasonable in a Fennoscandinavian regional context. You can do your comparisons and send here as comments. Image cropping follows the distribution, nothing exists outside images.

I made a little program searching haplotypes from the Ancient Human Dna map available online. Luistari sample Luistari1 TU464 (U4b1b1a) and Hollola8 TU662 (U4b1b1) have following ancestral or parallel U4b1b1 finds:

I4880 I2a2a1b2 Serbia 7100-5900 BCE
I4881 I2a2a1b2 Serbia 7100-5900 BCE
I4882 I2a2a1b Serbia 7100-5900 BCE
STT-A2 R1b1a1a2a1a2c1 Iceland 870–1000 CE
If I have to bet, I would place my bet on this Icelandic sample and suggest that he had same ancestral line with Luistari and Hollola samples and other ancient Scandinavian parallels are only waiting for detection. Will go on with other samples as soon as I have idle time.

ReplyDeleteSeveral U2e2 Sarmatian and Scythian samples too.
H1b is a common haplogroup, yet several geographically close ancient samples could mean common local ancestry

Notice especially Hiitola and Estonian H1b2 samples, although also Luistari TU622 could be H1b2 as well. All Luistari samples are of poor quality narrowing down the result.

Teetin FamilytreeDNA mtFull äitilinjan testin ja sain Haploryhmäksi H1a8a, Testattu äitilinja on asunut Koivistolla Viipurinläänissä ainakin vuodesta n 1680 vuoteen 1944. Osuma näyttää olevan myös kuvassa, jossa on Hiitola 1 Tu 504 H1a8a ja Tuukkala 5 Tu633 H1a8a. Olen alottelija Dna sukututkimisessa. Onko olemassa yhteys kuvanne ja minun äitilinjani välillä? Käytän sähköpostia kurki.martti@kolumbus.fi. Toivon ilmoitusta, että viestini on huomattu. Terveisin Martti Kurki Helsinki Finland.
