Analysis of the DNA of ancient remains of a man believed to have been associated with the La Tene culture in Haut-Rhin, France, and known only as Colmar 239, reveal that he was descended from the common ancestor of haplogroup R-A10645.? Furthermore, according to the Discover Haplogroups Report, only 42 FTDNA testers currently share that common ancestor of A10645 with Colmar 239.
Understandably, this is a very small group of testers affected in comparison to many branches under Z156.? However, given that the La Tene culture is thought to have been culturally Celtic, and given that these remains were found in what was then Gaul, has there been any discussion as to what this may tell us of the location of A10645?? It certainly seems to counter any idea that the common ancestor of A10645 was in Britain in 1650 BCE.
