Being ancient it has little/no phenotypical impact though.

This admxture is supposed to came from North Africans during the middle ages (Saracens in Italy and Moor in Spain) but i don't think it could be possible for some reasons:
From a phenotypical point of view North Africans don't look too much west african influenced, they sometimes can resembling depigmentated aethiopids (but more like due to southwest asian admixture in the last ones than non-caucasoid admixture in the first ones) thought, anyway their SSA admixture is lower than 10% (in the case of Algerians,Tunisians and Northen Moroccans especially) in the middle ages
their SSA admix was more likely to be lower (remember that SSA admixture was brought in the Magreb due to arab slave trade) so if Southern Europeans should have 1-3% SSA admix they should have heavy moor/saracen ancestry that they don't have.
Moors didn't colonized their lands they just imposed their culture over the locals, and saracens did some sporadical rape, but that's not enough to change genetic composition of southern euro countries, so cosnidering that Saracens and Moors were even less SSA admixed than modern North Africans there's no way they could left 1-3% of SSA ancestry in Southern Europeans.
In fact in dodecad all Europeans had 0% of SSA ancestry, only Iberians have a little bit more than 0% (like 0,002% or something along that line) from the paleolithic (and this admixture has nothing to do with modern SSA that have traces of admixture from other ''archaic humans'' like herectus, somewhat like 2%).
For example Scottish or Orcadians don't have any siberian admix even thought they are partly Norse (Norwegians) that score a bit of this admixture and the Norse admixture in Scottish/Orcadians is infinitely higher than the moors/saracen admixture in Southern Europeans...
