Genetic history of classic period Teotihuacan burials in Central Mexico

The ancient city of Teotihuacan was a great urban and ceremonial center, whose population grew exceptionally during the Classic Period (300–700 AC). Settlement patterns, culture and burials have indicated an occupation that consisted of groups of neighboring apartment compounds or barrios . We inves...

description The ancient city of Teotihuacan was a great urban and ceremonial center, whose population grew exceptionally during the Classic Period (300–700 AC). Settlement patterns, culture and burials have indicated an occupation that consisted of groups of neighboring apartment compounds or barrios . We investigated the genetics of three apartment compounds in the Teotihuacan Valley through ancient DNA analysis to prove mul - tiethnicity during the Classic Period. Amerindian mitochondrial haplogroups were identified in 10 subjects from San Francisco Mazapa, 7 from San Sebastián Xolalpan, and 19 human bone tools from La Ventilla. These samples had a wide genetic diver - sity. Differences in genetic structures between the three house - holds and seven ancient populations from central and southern Mexico were slight but significant ( p <0.001) by F ST analysis be - tween the three barrios studied. Xaltocan (post-conquest) was in agreement with the number of migrants estimated.
