Figure 4
Mitochondrial haplotype and Y-chromosomal similarities between the kurgans of the three horizons of Uyelgi cemetery. Three chronological horizons were defined in the cemetery: an oldest horizon from ninth century (marked with green), a middle horizon from ninth–tenth centuries (marked with orange) and the youngest horizon from tenth–eleventh centuries (marked with red colour). The bold and italic highlighted letters indicate different mitochondrial and/or Y-STR haplotype matches within and between the kurgans whose localization is visible on the right part of the figure. Four identical mitogenome haplotypes belonging to C4a1a6 haplogroup appear in all three horizons in four different kurgans, furthermore two identical haplotypes of H40b haplogroup are from the middle horizon and three also identical but different from the previous haplotypes of H40b come from two kurgans of the youngest horizon. Additionally, the five individuals with mtDNA haplogroup N1a1a1a1a are distributed in three kurgans from the oldest and youngest horizons.
