Identity of samples include: sample ID, location i.e. town where samples were excavated, archaeological site, and type of bone (museums ID available upon request); dating of samples include radiocarbon-dates (*BP (± 1σ)) or dates estimated by the context (DBC) and corresponding historical **periods (Post-Med = Post-Medieval); results of mtDNA D-loop and Y-chromosomal SRY gene sequence analysis are indicated for each sample; only the samples yielding mtDNA were analysed for the SRY gene.
