Modelling of ancient individuals from Mursa using proximal sources in qpAdm.
The pre-Roman local ancestry is represented by Croatia Early Iron Age (Croatia_EIA.AG), the Eastern Mediterranean ancestry by Turkey Iron Age (Turkey_Aegean_Bodrum_Halikarnassos_Ancient1.AG), the Northern European ancestry by Denmark Iron Age (Denmark_IA.SG), and the Eastern European ancestry by Ukraine Early Iron Age (Ukraine_Dnieper_EIA.SG). These sources are chosen from a range of viable models and serve as representative population of the distinct ancestries found in Mursa.
