DNA and facial reconstruction of post-Corded Ware Strzyżów Culture. PRELIMINARY results.

[Artek]

According the info I got from director of archeological museum, my friend, scientists managed to reconstruct the look of a "warrior" from post-Corded Ware bronze age local culture, from site in what is now Poland - named as Strzyżów Culture.

Also mtDNA haplogroups from various other graves and pigmentation data for the "warrior" himself were obtained


U5b1

"Warrior" had alleles darkish pigmentation

Full results and thesis should be available in April.

me and my dad fully match his profile (ethnicity: West Ukrainians with South Polish ancestry). how common is this type in the region now?

I haven't really counted people looking in such way, but they are more usual than unusual. I think that more such types are seen with younger people, because the population is undergoing debrachycephalisation.

At least two y-chromosomes were obtained! - warrior himself and a child. I made a query to know them.

[Jackson]

Very heavy features...can't wait to see what the Y-DNA is and all the rest. :D

[Graham]

How would you compare him to modern Polish people Artek?

Longer headed than average but facial features from front are familiar.

Yeah I thought he was going to be long faced based on the profile, until I seen the picture. He looks robust, but so are many Poles. He's a fighter, it would be like comparing a ufc fighter to a normal pole today. :P

We have many amateur ufc fighters called "dresiarze", like british chavs or russian gopniks. He actually looks similar to many of them.

West-Baltid.

West-Baltid.
With mesocephalic/dolichocephalic skull ;)

[just]

He looks very today's Poles

Doesn't matter what y-dna he has, must be Indo-European :p

[Graham]

If they get some autosomal data for Eurogenes. This would be Polako's/Davdski's dreams. lol. ;)

Where's the latest data on where U5b1 is most common?

[Hevo]

Yeah, give him modern clothes and he could easily pass in Poland.

Dolicho-Mesocephalic, Mesosrophic type was common among Corded-Ware tribes of N.E. Europe.

Full reconstruction of this guy(with hair, elements of reconstructed equipment found near the skeleton etc.) shall be available this April. I think I will personally visit the exhibition and do some photos :)

[Not a Cop]

The first variant is characterized by a dolichocephalicy with a very large head length (190-196 mm), average breadth (137-141 mm), wide (135-140 mm), medium-high (68-72 mm) face and very strongly projecting nose.
This set of features is presented in Early Neolithic tribes of Latvia, tribes of Sredny Stog Ukrainian culture, Funnelbeaker culture in Poland, as well as a series of skulls from the Ladoga Canal and Caucasoid skulls of Oleny Ostrov burial ground.
