	South Asia Medieval/Historic	21.2
	Byzantine	7.4
	Turan IA- Medieval	12.6

Sample:	DAD
Fit:	2.83

Can you try with default penalty, without limit and by removing outliers?

[Ahmed Ali]

Sure thing. This is what I get:

Sample:	Inayat-Ali (grandad)

	South Asia Medieval/Historic	23.4
	Byzantine	6.2

Sample:	DAD
Fit:	2.15
Results:	Gandhara Iron Age-Historic	78
	South Asia Medieval/Historic	17.6
	Byzantine	4.4

Sample:	me
Fit:	1.19
Results:	Gandhara Iron Age-Historic	83
	South Asia Medieval/Historic	15
	Levant Iron Age	2

Any thoughts? It looks like our Turan vanishes entirely. Dad and Dada still get a bit of Byzantine. Mine goes away but instead I get Iron Age Levant.

Turan should really be required for populations with excess Steppe MLBA related admixture not present in IA>Historic Gandhara.

[Ahmed Ali]

Hmm that's interesting. Thanks.

In terms of Byzantine, my family seem to score Trogir 'average/median'. Are these Greek like samples?

Try looking at Oracles, all the models with distances. below 2 are potentially interesting ones.
