SECTION A: THE INDUS PERIPHERY SAMPLES
In the Narasimhan et al 2019 paper, 13 outlier samples were published - 10 from the Iranian site of Shahr-i-Sokhta (abbrv. SiS, various dates 3100-2000 BCE) and 3 from the Bactria Margiana Archaeological Complex (abbrv. BMAC) site of Gonur (2400-2000 BCE). These samples showed an elevated ancestry component found in the Onge Andamanese and modern Indians, which was not found in the main samples from SiS and BMAC. Based on this, the hypothesis was made that these people were migrants from one or more sites of the Indus Valley Civilization (abbrv. IVC) and were labeled as 'Indus Periphery Samples'.
