Michael R. Waters from Texas A&M University along with a group of graduate and undergraduate students began excavating the Debra L. Friedkin Site in Bell County, Texas in 2006. The site is located 250 metres (820 ft) downstream along Buttermilk Creek from the Gault site ; a Paleo-Indian site excavated in 1998 and found to have deeply stratified ...
The haplogroup most commonly associated with Indigenous Americans is Haplogroup Q1a3a (Y-DNA). [75] Y-DNA, like (mtDNA), differs from other nuclear chromosomes in that the majority of the Y chromosome is unique and does not recombine during meiosis. This has the effect that the historical pattern of mutations can more easily be studied. [76]
