A fact from Tell Halula appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 May 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the first settlers of Tell Halula brought fully domesticated forms of wheat, barley and flax from somewhere else, circa 7750 BC?

Ancient DNA

“Eva Fernández Domínguez extracted samples of mitochondrial DNA from human bones from Tell Halula as part of the studies for her PhD thesis accepted at the University of Barcelona in 2005. The methodology used was later superseded, so a first publication of the results in 2008 was corrected in a subsequent publication in 2014. In the latter publication the mtDNA haplogroups were given as U, R0, K, HV, H, N and L3.”

The subsequent methodology seems to have superseded by removing some of the original samples, including one of the only 7 for which they were able to get full HVR1 values, and replacing them with samples from an unrelated site. If I’m misreading something, I’d love to be properly informed. Killswitchwp (talk) 20:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
