A PCA with ancient and modern samples from Iran, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan.
The Caucasian Albanian from Late Antiquity has obvious shift toward Iranian populations. Its not on Udi-Armenia LIA - Lezgins cline
Ancient Iranians Medes and Parthians might be located in left and slightly down of Tepe Hissar. Probably in the place of Shahtepe BA or slightly left/bottom.
It's not yet clear but modern Iranians have probably some slight western/northern? shift compared to ancients.
Kurds are the most western, Persians from Khorasan and Tats have the highest steppe ancestry ( shift toward left) while Mazandarani have the highest Zagros Neo ancestry.
The Shamakhi Armenian singleton shift seems to be more Armenia_LIA/Tat/Lezgin than to any other Iranian population.
Dinkha tepe BA IA 2 associated with Grey ware in late Middle Bronze Age could be the first wave of early Indo Iranians.
PS. I updated the PCA and added the Shah tepe BA
