Abstract |
In recent years, the study of the ancient human genomes has gained exceptional
interest and unsolved questions related to the origin and admixture of populations
can now be answered. In Greece, prehistoric human samples that had been analyzed
for ancient DNA are mainly originated from the Stone and the Bronze Age. Based on
those samples, evidence has emerged that indicates genetic differentiation between
the Neolithic era and the Bronze Age. However, a recent study involving only one
excavation site showed that individuals from Greece during the Early Bronze Age
tended to show more genetic similarities to individuals, which are dated to the
Neolithic period of Greece and Western and Central Anatolia rather than to individuals
from the Middle and Late Bronze Age of Greece. Due to the small number of sampling
sites, the above hypothesis has not been tested, yet. The aim of this thesis is the
independent verification of the above hypothesis using genetic data from samples
from the cave ossuary of Lake Vouliagmeni in Perachora, Corinthia, which based on
archaeological estimates, are dated to the Early Bronze Age (~2,700-2,200 Before
Common Era, BCE). The excavation findings consist of six petrous bones and four
teeth. An analysis of ancient DNA was carried out and the ancestry of the Perachora
individuals and their relationships with populations of neighboring regions of the same
era were examined. According to the results of these analyses, Perachora individuals
show more genetic similarities to Neolithic individuals than to those of Middle and
Late Bronze Age, thus strengthening the prevailing hypothesis regarding the genetic
composition of Early Bronze Age individuals in Greece. Finally, the results show genetic
differentiation between the Early and later Bronze Age phases in Greece, due to the
arrival of an ancestry genetic component from the Steppes, , during the Middle Bronze
Age.
