  1. The short alignment includes consists of 26 archaeological samples and 123 modern samples, while the long alignment consists of only the 123 modern samples. Estimates were calculated for each sample set in R using PEGAS51. Significant values are in boldface (for Tajima’s D, p < 0.10; for Fu’s Fs, p < 0.02). 95% confidence intervals for π and h are given in parentheses.
