Genetic insights into Iron Age Saka culture: Ancient DNA analysis of the Boz-Barmak burial ground, Kyrgyzstan

Abstract excerpt

The nomadic cultures of the Iron Age played an important role in shaping the genetic and cultural landscape of Eurasian populations. Yet despite its key geographical location, the Central Eurasian region remains underrepresented in ancient DNA studies of humans. We address this gap through genomic analysis of 12 individuals from the Boz-Barmak burial site in Kyrgyzstan associated with Saka pastoralists (4th-2nd ce...
