Buni me što je je klasifikovana kao NE cluster. To bi bio Bliski istok (Near East) klaster. Nisam mislio da bi ta grana dolazila odatle.
Они су то означили као Near East, али чини ми се да је ту било свега. Више је то Источномедитерански кластер.
Ево њиховог описа те групе:
"The other major cluster (44% of the samples from Viminacium between 1-250 CE) is
represented by individuals who projected towards ancient and present-day Eastern
Mediterranean groups in PCA (Figure 1A), close to ancient individuals from Rome during
Imperial times 3. Their ancestry can be modelled as deriving deeply from Chalcolithic Western
Anatolian groups (Figure 2; Supplementary section 12.2), and we refer to this cluster as the
Near Eastern-related cluster. The same signal of arrivals individuals with Anatolian/Near
Eastern ancestral origins is also evident in Rome during the same period 3
, consistent with largescale gene-flow originating from the major eastern urban centers of the Empire (such as
Constantinople, Antioch, Smyrna and Alexandria). These results suggest that immigration from
the east was a common feature across urban centers in the Roman Empire, including in border
areas and large cities/military outposts such as Viminacium. Individuals with Eastern
Mediterranean ancestry could have high social status: 3 out of the 4 individuals buried in two
sarcophagi (each containing a male-female pair) with exceptionally rich grave goods at the Rit
necropolis in Viminacium belonged to the Near Eastern-related cluster, while the remaining
one belonged to the Balkans Iron Age-related cluster. This kind of burial was common in the
Eastern Roman settlements for aristocratic members of society 20.
Individuals from this cluster
were also more likely to be inhumated in a wooden coffin rather than freely buried, which could
also be an indication of higher social prestige. У суштини дрвени сандук је ипак значио нешто виши статус.
