TL;DR: Interpopulation comparisons reveal that the modern population of Murlo, a small town of Etruscan origin, is characterized by an unusually high frequency (17.5%) of Near Eastern mtDNA haplogroups, supporting a direct and rather recent genetic input from the Near East--a scenario in agreement with the Lydian origin of ETruscans.

TL;DR: Mitochondrial DNA sequences in multiple clones derived from bone samples of 80 Etruscans who lived between the 7th and the 3rd centuries b.c. show closer evolutionary relationships with the eastern Mediterranean shores for the Etr Tuscan populations than for modern Italian populations, suggesting that different Etruscan communities shared not only a culture but also a mitochondrial gene pool.
