I have ITTQ14 99.8
ITTQ8 0.2 @4.1161282

My number one isITTQ14 @4.1161%
 
ITTQ11 (Ind.11) is significantly different compared to the other three samples.

... "Therefore we can estimate, with some confidence, that two out of the six individuals from Tarquinia Civita could be considered as raised non-locally (Individuals 11 and 8)" ...

.. "we can infer that one of these isotopic outliers (Individual 11) not only spent their early life away from Tarquinia as shown by the radiogenic strontium isotopic values, but also had ancestry from a region as distant as the Baltic" ...

ITTQ11 coverage is about-69%

Bioarchaeology aids the cultural understanding of six characters in search of their agency (Tarquinia, ninth–seventh century BC, central Italy) - Scientific Reports

Etruria contained one of the great early urban civilisations in the Italian peninsula during the first millennium BC, much studied from a cultural, humanities-based, perspective, but relatively little with scientific data, and rarely in combination. We have addressed the unusual location of...

It looks like Felsina IA does broadly cluster over prior Etruscans from the Tarquina area near Latium, interestingly. Three of the four imperial samples appear to cluster over modern Tuscans which implies a much less dramatic increase in aegean ancestry than what is seen around Rome. The last seems perhaps Punic mixed with a small north African pull of ancestry. Assuming this pattern continues, I'd be surprised if we see much of a change at all in cities like Milan.

I checked the BAM files for males ITTQ19 and ITTQ10.

ITTQ19 is J2b-L283>>Z638>Y21045>PH4679>Z38300>Y161916>Y161937 (negative on YF016327ALB and J-FTD62718 SNPs)

ITTQ10 is J2b-L283>>Z638 (and PH2967-, Z637-, Y23094-, CTS5789-, Z631-). This one is lower coverage, further analysis may help.

A pretty interesting result for ITTQ19. I did not check if it's directly dated but it should be ~700 BCE. It would be interesting to see his autosomal analysis.

These few (still) Etruscans seem to me open enough to other ethnies individuals.
Concerning phoenotypes, even with these last contributions, I think we have too few of them to built any model, what is not the case concerning autosomes DNA spite the relative heterogeneity: the solution wold be discarding the too evident outsiders? In general I think we have too often at hand high castes individuals and I suppose the females of the lower social classes females were more alike to the males.

The Etruscans for a few centuries, extended from northern Italy almost abutting the last plains before the Pre-Alps to settlements in Campania, southern Italy, in the midst of Greek colonies and Samnite and Oscan settlements, are the wealthiest in Preroman Italy, far more than the Latins, and only comparable to the wealth of the Greek colonies in southern Italy, and so it is obvious that they attracted foreigners of all kinds. From northern and central Europe, from other parts of the Mediterranean. But the Etruscans at the same time kept their genealogies up to date, and most likely did not allow foreigners, at least until before the Hellenistic and Classical phases, or even those of partial foreign origin, to hold public office in Etruria. See the story-legend of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, who was an Etruscan born in Tarquinia from a Greek father from Corinth, who was forced to migrate to Rome because in Tarquinia they would never allow him to make any sort of public career. In Rome he became the legendary fifth king of Rome.

From a genetic point of view, we know that among the most frequent markers are R1b P312, R1b U152-L2, G2a-L497.... all clades that may have Bell Beaker-derived and arrived in Etruria from about 2200-2000 BC. While these J2b/J2b-L283, which if I am not mistaken some have also been found recently among the Celts, are, however, to be considered Etruscans and not foreigners, because they probably arrived in Etruria, and it is also theorized by some archaeologists, toward the final stages of the Bronze Age during the Urnfield culture, before the ethnogenesis of the Etruscans was fully accomplished.
