[Paleogenetic analysis of the skeletons from the sepulchral cave of Elzarreko Karbia (Bronze Age, Basque Country)].
Through paleogenetic studies we have characterised the sampling of a sepulchral cave named Elzarreko Karbia, in the Basque Country (France). Four people had been buried in this cave in the Ancient Bronze Age, three men, including an adolescent, and a woman, dating from 3,700 BP. In addition to a confirmation of the anatomical sex determination through amelogenin first intron amplification, we obtained a mitochondrial second hypervariable region (HVR II) sequence for each individual, and thus, we excluded maternal relationship between some of the skeletons.
