The inclusion of these populations was an attempt to answer the question about the history of the settlement of the lands of today's Poland.

Has anybody had a look at the Lusatian culture samples? What are they like?
Quote:Additional analyzes including individuals representing populations from earlier periods showed no significant change in time from the Early Iron Age. However, this result should be treated as preliminary, requiring in the future the inclusion of more data (nuclear genomes) on the genetic diversity of populations preceding the early Middle Ages.
I presume they mean from the point of view of northern/western ancestry? Or do they mean no significant change in local ancestry between EIA and Roman period only?
