[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] I see no mention of these people being possibly “Romans” and ”Greeks”. This basically just confirmed what I said all along about Kellis 2. These are indigenous Africans. So I ask again ..were ancient Greeks predominantly modern day Europeans. Sources?? ================ Quote: I said no Kellis 2..but…let look at what was offered Dental Morphological Analysis of Roman Era Burials from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt - Scott Donald Haddow Institute of Archaeology University College London PhD Thesis 2012 Ismant el-Kharab (ancient Kellis) is an archaeological site in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, which dates from [b]the late Ptolemaic to the late Roman period.[/b] Previous studies of skeletal material from Kellis and other oasis sites suggest that the[b] ancient population of the Dakhleh Oasis was largely homogenous[/b] and inbred as a result of geographic isolation. Archaeological and textual evidence however, indicates a record of contact with the Nile Valley and regions further afield since the Neolithic. In order to [b]test these apparently conflicting narratives[/b], descriptive and multivariate statistical methods are employed in an analysis of heritable [b]dental morphological variants in 186 individuals from Kellis. Variation in dental morphological trait frequencies are commonly used[/b] in biological distance studies to assess phonetic relationships between groups. The present study has two main components: 1) an intra-cemetery assessment of inter-sex and inter-group morphological variation in order to identify related individuals within the Kellis 2 cemetery and provide evidence for post-marital residence patterns; and 2) an interregional comparison between [b]the Kellis skeletal assemblage and groups from Egypt, Nubia, North and Sub-Saharan Africa in order to place the ancient Dakhleh Oasis population within a broader regional context.[/b] The results of the intra-cemetery analysis demonstrate low levels of inter-sex phenetic variation consistent with an isolated and possibly interbred population. Spatial analysis within the Kellis 2 cemetery has tentatively identified one area containing individuals with distinctive dental trait frequencies. This may indicate a kin-structured area of the cemetery, or alternatively, an area [b]reserved for individuals who are not native to the Dakhleh Oasis. [/b]The results of the inter-regional comparison of trait frequencies[b] demonstrate an overall affinity with North African populations, especially with several early Upper Egyptian and contemporary Lower Nubian groups. [/b]Despite these similarities, however, the Kellis assemblage remains relatively distinct in relation to the comparative groups. [b]This is consistent with a geographically isolated population experiencing limited gene-flow.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
