Jäin vielä pohtimaan, miksi Pälkäneen rauniokirkon näytteet olivat itävetoisia, erityisesti siksi että itselleni läheinen 1200-luvun näyte PKN008 on PCA-kuvassa vähemmän "itäinen" kuin nuoremmat PKN012 ja PKN013. Osa Pälkäneen rauniokirkon 1200-luvun näytteistä, ml. em. PKN008, oli toisaalta haudattu pienelle rajatulle alueelle "six of the medieval adults (PKN002, PKN003, PKN005, PKN006, PKN008, and PKN009) were buried in a small, confined area, overlapping each other in four distinct layers". Kuvassa vanhoja näytteitä PKN005, PKN006 ja PKN008 yhdistää sininen viiva ja 1200-luvun näytteet PKN005 ja PKN006 ovat kuitenkin samanoloisia kuin PKN013, eli "itäisyys" on alueella vanhaa, mutta ilmeisesti ei kattavaa. Liittyisikö rajattu hauta-alue ortodoksikauteen alueella? Onko rajatulle alueelle haudattu hämäläisiä vai paikalle tulleita karjalaisia?

1200-luvun näytteistä kaksi eli PKN005 ja PKN006 olivat ilmeisesti pari, haudattu yhdessä.
"One double grave contained individuals PKN005 (XX) and
PKN006 (XY), with a notably intimate positioning: PKN006 lay on his left side facing PKN005, with one
hand under her shoulder and the other across her elbow. Such bodily contact has often been interpreted
as indicative of a close interpersonal relationship19,20, possibly suggestive of a pair bond. Nonetheless, not
all significant social relationships are genetically based. In this case, the absence of kinship ties among all
the individuals in the cluster raises the possibility that some other social principle was behind the burial
pattern. One possible interpretation is the shared religious identity of the deceased. By the 13th century,
the Christianization of the Häme region was underway, marked by the establishment of the first
ecclesiastical parishes and churchyards21,22. Although written documentation is sparse for this period,
archaeological evidence suggests that Christian mortuary practices – such as standardized body
orientation, burial in consecrated ground without artefacts – were becoming increasingly prevalent1. In
Christian ideology, the dead were conceptualized as members of a spiritual community that extended
beyond familial ties. The grouping of these burials could therefore reflect membership in an emerging
Christian congregation, where moral status or ritual inclusion (“good Christians”) determined the location of
the burial23. In this light, the Rauniokirkko burials may provide rare material evidence of early Christian
community formation in inland Finland."

Pariskunnan mies, näytteessä PKN006 voisi olla nähtävissä saamivetoa-kin? Toisaalta: "Another individual, PKN006, had high connectivity to Southern Savo in addition to connections to Southwestern Finland."
