Pottery Neolithic
Pottery Neolithic (c. 6400-4500 BCE)
Biological profile: - Sex: Female (genetic F, skeletal sex indeterminate — skull NA 79.9%, mandible absent) - Age: Young Adult (21-30 years), dental development ≥21, dental wear 20-30 - Stature: ~152.4 cm (estimated from femoral length F2-5=302mm) - Pathology: None reported in supplement; humerus attribution uncertain between H2 and co-buried H45 Burial context (Locus 207, Square J12): - Double burial with H45 (16-22yr adolescent), both in flexed position on left side - Primary interment, outside structure area - MNI: 2 (H2 + H45) - H2 was well-preserved, H45 was very fragmented Archaeological context: - Pottery Neolithic (PN), c. 6400-4500 BCE - ONLY Pottery Neolithic individual at NY38 (all other individuals are PPNB) - H52 initially assigned to PN but excluded after stratigraphic review - Key individual for studying PPNB→PN transition in central Israel DNA quality: - Shotgun A55056: 1,843,786 raw reads, 0.021% human mapped, 175 unique, 5' C>T 72.7% - Capture B57530: 1,629,336 raw reads, 46.5% mapped, 1,405 unique, contamination ~99% - mtDNA H1ae2 (from shotgun data; capture too contaminated for mt haplogroup call) - Endogenous DNA: 0.021% (shotgun) — very low preservation - CAUTION: Capture library shows ~99% contamination, likely environmental
