a, Zoom in on two events of recombination of HLA haplotypes, one of class I in the individual GLN267, where both haplotypes carried by the mother recombined, and one in class II in the individual GLN245B where both haplotypes carried by the father recombined and transmitted to the son GLN245A (Supplementary Table 14). b, Distribution of specific archaeological features according to the age at death of all subadult individuals (irrespective of DNA preservation) and their sex. Each bar represents one individual for each feature, that is some individuals are represented several times. Grey lines represent the two observed thresholds before and after individuals tend to be buried with grave goods or with specific archaeological features. c, Stable isotope data (carbon and nitrogen) (Rey et al. 2019), plotted with the genetic sexing of subadult individuals provided by this study. Two significant clusters can be observed between male and female individuals (two-sided permutation test, p = 0.01019; Supplementary Note 14.1). The high values of δ15N of three outlier individuals (GLN232C, GLN326, GLN245A, all younger than 6 years of age) might be a signal for breastfeeding or weaning time.
