Archaeologists studying the site of a planned highway in southeastern Poland have made a stunning discovery; a kurgan burial mound dating to the Copper Age. According to the Polish press, who seem unusually excited by this archaeological news item, the 6,000-year-old kurgan and its contents are a major find that might change the way we view European prehistory. Basically, it's older than any other Corded Ware site by about a thousand years.

The kurgan sits in a forest near the town of Szczytna and harbors several burials, one apparently belonging to a "warrior prince" (my translation from the Polish "Książę-Wojownik"). This so called warrior prince is laying in a crouched position, on his side, in classic Corded Ware burial style. His grave also contains an extremely rare copper battle axe, as well as a copper vase, cups and jewelery. However, his isn't the main burial within the kurgan, so we could be in for a few more surprises yet when the archaeologists start working on the main chamber.

Unfortunately, I see no mention of any attempts to extract DNA from the prince's skeleton. However, the article linked to above does say that more detailed studies of his remains will follow, and that the site is well preserved. So I'm really hoping attempts have been made to minimize contamination, and preparations are well under way to at least get a mtDNA result, if not Y-DNA (which is much more difficult to extract from ancient remains).

By the way, the only Corded Ware skeletons tested for Y-DNA to date, from a burial site in Germany, came back R1a1a. The haplotypes matched most closely those of a couple of living individuals in Poland and European Russia, but were in general most similar to modern German R1a1a lineages. If successfully tested, I expect this warrior prince to carry an R1a1a haplotype typical of modern Poles.

I should also mention that kurgan burial mounds from South Siberia, apparently left there by so called Andronovo tribes of the Bronze and Iron ages, also contained European-like individuals carrying R1a1a. According to archaeologists, these people were descendants of European migrants who set off east to mine for copper, bronze and iron. Their autosomal SNPs suggest they had very similar pigmentation traits to modern North, Central and East Europeans.

если я правильно понял какая именно Гг низвестно.
А что кроме R1a1 нашли у КШК?

Пока только планируют выделение мтДНК, и если получится Y-ДНК.
