Maeotian Genetics

[Fried]

Is there any information about the autosomal genetics of the Maeotians?

I mean Golden Cemetery burials, Karagodeuashkh burial and other sites of the Iron Age associated with the Maeotian culture. The Maeotians had catacombs (and T-shaped catacombs, too) as the main burial way. And may be, the so called Caucasian Alans (DA243,DA162,DA160,DA164) buried in T-shaped catacombs are actually the Late Meotians, because, in accordance with the ancient written sources, the ancient Alans were nomadic herders when the people buried in the T-shaped catacombs were sedentary agrarian.
