We present nucleotide sequence data for mitochondrial DNA extracted from ancient human skeletons of the Yayoi era (ca. 2,000 BP) excavated from the Takuta-Nishibun site in northern Kyushu of Japan. Nucleotide sequence diversity showed that the Yayoi people of the Takuta-Nishibun site were not a genetically homegeneous population. This site shows a diversity in the burial style. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a statistically significant correlation between burial style and the genetic background of the Takuta-Nishibun individuals, and revealed no discrete clusterig patterns for the Yayoi individuals, for early modern Ainu, or for the Jomon people.
我们展示了从日本九州北部竹田西分部遗址出土的弥生时代（约2000年前）古代人类骨骼中提取的线粒体DNA的核苷酸序列数据。核苷酸序列多样性表明，竹田西分部遗址的弥生人并非基因同质化群体。该遗址在埋葬方式上呈现出多样性。系统发育分析表明，埋葬方式与竹田西分部个体的遗传背景之间存在统计学上的显著相关性，并且未发现弥生个体、早期现代阿伊努人或绳文人有离散的聚类模式。
