Room 33 burials, Pueblo Bonito, and their ancient genomes

Not kept here. This copy isn't ours to show. See it where it's published.

Fourteen people buried in the oldest part of the building, among them the richest burial known from the Southwest; nine share one mitochondrial lineage. They are ancestors of living Pueblo peoples, and the 2017 study was criticised for proceeding without tribal consultation, so no images are reproduced here.
