Panels (A-D) show comparisons of ancestry in four ancestral components (SRB_Iron_Gates_HG, the 5th component of the model of (1) is negligible). This analysis shows a stark contrast between Armenia and the other populations in terms of Eastern European hunter-gatherer ancestry (B), and between Van and Assyrian Mesopotamia in terms of Levantine ancestry (C). When unlabeled individuals are ordered in increasing Eastern European hunter-gatherer ancestry, Assyrian Mesopotamia, Van lack this ancestry (except an outlier individual from Van), while individuals from Armenia mostly possess it, and those from Hasanlu have a limited range from zero Eastern European hunter-gatherer ancestry to a maximum level that is less than that seen in Armenia.
