New ancient DNA from Greece.

 New ancient DNA from Greece. From Corinth region and western Greece. Old samples are similar to other samples from Greece and Balkans but the Roman era samples show a shift to Anatolia. Somewhat similar to Roman imperial events.

One of the Roman era Corinthians has Y DNA R1b-L584 consistent with its eastern shift. Another person from Roman era had J2-M92 plausibly from Anatolian affiliation also. Other Y DNA found in those sites are typical to Balkans. E1b-L618. R1b-Pf7562, J2b-L283, T1a2, G2.

==========

The consensus of our findings (PCA, ADMIXTURE, qpAdm using the “Most_Proximate” set of sources) shows that the Amvrakia and Tenea individuals can be considered as descendants of the LBA and IA populations of the southern Balkans, especially the area of present-day Greece. In addition, the Roman Tenea individuals appear to have an additional minor contribution from the east, represented by BA Levant and Hellenistic Türkiye (Northwest and West, including Halikarnassos) in the “Most_proximate” qpAdm analysis. Overall, a local genetic continuity is suggested from the LBA/IA Greece to the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greece, as well as in a lower degree to Roman Greece, albeit for the latter the spatial sampling is inadequate to justify such a generalization.
