Fitting proxies for the new ancestry source in Iron Age southern Britain

Proxies for source of the new ancestry N Mean date p-value Ancestry
Margetts Pit and Cliffs End Farm M-LBA 4 1036 BCE 0.07 49.4 ± 3.0%
Spain IA Tartessian 2 629 BCE 0.16 23.7 ± 1.2%
France GrandEst IA1 (shotgun data) 5 620 BCE 1.00 48.9 ± 3.7%
France Occitanie IA2 (high EEF subgroup, shotgun data) 1 450 BCE 0.85 25.8 ± 1.7%
France Occitanie IA2 (high WHG subgroup, shotgun data) 1 450 BCE 0.39 33.5 ± 4.1%
France Occitanie IA2 (shotgun data) 2 400 BCE 0.25 53.3 ± 5.4%
France Occitanie IA2 (low Steppe subgroup, shotgun data) 2 363 BCE 0.33 36.5 ± 2.6%
France GrandEst IA2 12 250 BCE 0.09 68.5 ± 3.3%

Note: We fit the pooled IA individuals from England and Wales as a mixture of the pooled C/EBA individuals from England and Wales and a proxy for the new ancestry source. The p-value is from qpAdm’s test of fit of each population as a two-way admixture with no correction for multiple hypothesis testing. These results represent eight of the 65 lines in Supplementary Information section 6, Table S6.1
