Lost Finnish study

 I found newly some information about once lost Finnish study on the Eupedia forum, but still the source unknown.  If you know where is this data from, please inform me, I appreciate it.  I assume that the study can be published during this autumn, but can't be sure.   I suppose it has been on the agenda of the deleted symposium EAA2020.


This is interesting especially because of the certain illogicality between released yDna and autosomal data.

Abstract format: Poster

Southwest Finland has rich Late Iron Age archaeological records that show diverse cultural and trade networks. Ancient DNA analyses
from human remains, however, have remained scarce due to the acidic Finnish soil that leads to a rapid decay of bone material.
Two large inhumation burial grounds from the Crusade Period (1050–1150 CE) in Southwest Finland, Raisio Kansakoulunmäki and
Masku Humikkala, represent the transition period towards Christianity. The favourable skeletal preservation on these sites offers a
possibility to analyse the genetic structure of the Iron Age communities behind the burial context. Combining this genetic data to
other periodically and regionally close individuals enables an in-depth examination of the population history of Late Iron Age Southwest Finland.
In this archaeogenetic study we investigate the genetic composition of altogether 29 individuals, 14 from Kansakoulunmäki and
15 from Humikkala. A closer analysis of kinship patterns and genetic ancestry provides comprehensive information of the Late
Iron Age communities, such as family relations and patrilocality. All samples in this study have been processed in dedicated cleanroom facilities.
Ancient DNA libraries have been enriched for ancestry-informative markers in human DNA, and the data retrieved
with high-throughput next-generation sequencing. The preliminary results for seven Raisio Kansakoulunmäki individuals indicate a
genetic continuity with contemporary Finnish populations. Our current analyses intend to provide a detailed view of the ancestry
components, kinship and genetic affinities for all successful samples.

Are East Finns really eastern conquerors. Fiction and truth.

 Being active in the internet I often meet these ideas.  Russians often have opinion about eastern conquerors that populated Finland.  Westerners have another weird habit; they dig again and again 80 - 150 years old dusty papers to prove something.  We have in Finland our own stories, sometimes supported by our researchers, unfortunately.  Common for those people is denialism, they don't want to use up-to-date and comparable scientific  results and if they use available new data they will always find a loophole how to support those 80-150 years old dusty papers.  One of those ideas is to prove that the Finns came from the far east and so East Finnish people have to be an evidence because they are the most eastern Finnish group..


I made a series of Dstat-statistics to see where the East Finns locate on the east-west axis.  I have genealogically proven samples from all Finnish regions and also  classified samples from the 1000 genomes project. 

 

East Finns are closer Southwest Finns than they are from Karelians, despite of the historical Swedish connection of Southwestern Finns.

I made more comparisons to see a bigger view and I can cast a challenge.  If someone can give any non-Finnish sample group being closer East Finns than East Finns are from Southwest Finns, I will publish the results and give all kudos to her/him.  Only group on the Russian side I rule out is Ingrians who actually are East Finns who migrated to Russia during the historic era.

FIN-Southwest-proved is from the seaside of Finland Proper and consists of 5 samples.
