Mesolithic: Mathieson (2018) analyzed 28 individuals from Deriivka, dated to ca. 7000 BC to 2700 BC. As an example, one male, dated to ca. 7000 to 6700 BC, carried the paternal
haplogroup R1a and the maternal
U5a2a. Five individuals buried at the nearby site of Vasil'evka from ca. 8800 BC to 7500 BC were also analyzed. One male carried the paternal haplogroup R1a, another
I2a1, the third
R1b1a. With regard to
mtDNA, all individuals surveyed, both male and female, carried subclades of maternal haplogroup
U5. Eighteen Neolithic individuals buried at Deriivka from ca. 5500 BC to 4500 BC were analyzed. Of the sixteen males analyzed, eleven were found to be carriers of
R or various subclades of it (particularly
R1b1a), while five carried
I and subclades of it (
I2a2a1b,
I2a2a and
I2a2a1b1). In regard to
mtDNA, all Neolithic individuals, both male and female, belonged to U (particularly subclades of U5 and
U4). Fifteen Neolithic individuals buried at the nearby sites of Volniensky, Vilnianka and Vovnigi from the 6500 BC to 4000 BC were also analyzed. Of the fourteen males analyzed, six carried I2a2 and various subclades of it, four carried I, one carried
R1b1xM269, whilst the rest were lower coverage/ unresolved (R1*, I*, IJ*). In regard to mtDNA, all individuals except for a male who carried
haplogroup T carried subclades of haplogroup U (U5, U4 and
U2). Four
Eneolithic individuals buried at Deriivka from ca. 4000 BC to 2700 BC were analyzed. With regard to Y-DNA, the male studied carried
R1b1a1a2a2. Regarding mtDNA, three individuals carried subclades of U5, while one female carried
J2b1. ==See also==
