[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] Said it several times. It's early Medieval in date. It's likely the same or a biologically closely related skeletal sample as the Christian Nubian sample used in Hanihara et al 2003, that, at times, clustered (non-metrically speaking) outside of the "North African" subcluster (comprising of Naqada, Giza and Kerma) and with Europeans. Holiday doesn't identify this sample in his later papers, at least not the ones I have. When he speaks on the provenance of this Nubian sample and his other oft-used samples, he simply refers his readers back to his dissertation, which isn't readily available. So this is all that we know about it for now. We also have Christian era aDNA to help put these results in a better context: [QUOTE]In dedicated aDNA facilities at University College Dublin, [b]we successfully sequenced several specimens from Kulubnarti, Sudanese Nubia dated to the Early Christian era (500-1400 AD).[/b] [...] Quality control analysis indicated authenticity of the DNA [b]and principle component analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphisms placed the individual around Middle Eastern and Central/South Asian clusters.[/b][/QUOTE]Source: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/275031861_No_longer_the_1_Optimizing_ancient_DNA_yield_from_Saharan_African_samples [/QB][/QUOTE]
