What is shown
Points are individuals in the Allen Ancient DNA Resource (AADR) v66.p1, a curated Harvard compendium released under CC0. We kept records with coordinates, a date before 1950 and a passing quality assessment in the database (PASS, PROVISIONAL_PASS or MERGE_PASS), one per individual.
Red marks individuals dated to the selected window; grey marks older ones. Dates come from the database: direct radiocarbon (OxCal, IntCal20 calibration) or archaeological context.
