Abstract
In this study, we use different approaches to cluster analysis (agglomerative clustering, k-means, SOM) to discover the inner structure of mtDNA samples dataset. This dataset consists of 201 ancient DNA samples with full mtDNA sequence and 813 samples with mitochondrial haplogroup known.
The cluster analysis shows correlation with age and subsistence system of the used populations. We have also described detailed relationship between early neolithic and late neolithic populations from Central Europe.
