Abstract: (363 Views)
This study presents the results of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of two human skeletal remains excavated from the Sagzabad site, Ghareh Teppe, Qazvin Province, Iran, dated to the second and third Iron Ages. MtDNA haplogroups were employed as a key tool to investigate the population structure, origins, and migration patterns of ancient human populations. The analysis revealed that both individuals belonged to haplogroup D4. Haplogroup D4 is a subclade of the M-derived lineages, which originated in East Asia and is characterized by three main branches, including D4. This finding represents the first documented case of skeletal remains with haplogroup D4 in the Iranian Plateau, providing new insights into maternal lineage diversity and potential historical connections between populations in this region and those of Eastern Asia (Iranian plateau).
