Ancient Eastern Europe and the Baltic
Archaeological Cultures
Analyzing your genetic similarity to ancient Eastern European and Baltic reference samples...
Preparing your genetic-similarity report
Archaeological Cultures
How genetically similar you are to reference individuals associated with archaeological cultures. A culture is a set of shared material remains (pottery, burials, tools), not a people or a family line.
The Baltic and eastern forest zone kept a deep forager signal long after farming reached the rest of Europe.
Cultural affinities
Affinity scores run from 0 to 100 and compare similarity; they are not shares of your ancestry. Select a culture for details.
Archaeological sites
Excavation sites associated with the individuals in this report.
How cultural affinity is estimated
Each score summarises how closely your genetic profile resembles the ancient reference individuals assigned to that culture in the reference panel. A high score indicates statistical similarity to those individuals. It does not show that you descend from the culture or from any specific person buried at these sites.
