Exact same location as the Mycenaeans from the 2017 Lazaridis paper. Perfect comparison material.

It would not be surprising if the Vlach language lacks maritime words. As they are a not a coastal people. Illyrians of course were connected to the sea. The Vlachs were migrating to the South Balkans after the Slav migrations. Perhaps both Vlachs and Albanian speakers were displaced by Slavs...

Well, I would argue the late Middle Ages to be prior to the Renaissance which starts around the 14th century AD. And I doubt that in the region of modern Albania, the inhabitants were speaking anything close to Albanian during the time of the Slavic migrations. In fact, it was a desolated region...

E-V13 located awfully close to the Aegean and Anatolia during the Iron Age. And in quite high rates. Albanians seem to have been formed during the late Middle Ages. It explains the lack of native maritime words in their vocabulary. But similar Balkan migrations which resulted into Albanians may...

Indeed. The LBA Cretans are very different from MBA Cretans. Consider that a part of the Mycenaean Cretan population which plotted close to Minoans is not visible in LBA Cretans. A totally new cluster is formed which is different even compared to the MBA Mycenaeans. A clear population shift. We...

-In the EBA we notice a population in Greece without steppe admixture. -In the MBA we see that there is some Steppe admixture in mainland Greece (Lazaridis). -We also notice that in the MBA there is considerably more Steppe admixture in Thessaly. (Logkas specimens) -Next, we notice that, at...

But the Eastern model does not entail that they were island hoppers. More likely they crossed the Bosporus. Which means they came from the North into Southern Greece.

Are you suggesting that they spoke some form of Greek in the South? Prior to areas such as Thessaly and Epirus?

Archaeologists estimate the formation of proto-Greek as early as 2200 BC. Obviously the Mycenaeans were formed later. So Kamenice, if not associated with Greek culture, should be older than that. Or the exact location was not in some parts of the green area.

Archaeologically, the Green zone does fall within the proto-Greek zone around the 2nd millennium b.c. Save perhaps the part north of today’s Thessaloniki, which was probably overrun by Doric tribes during their expansion during the Iron Age.

There has already been severals studies whicy indicate that South Slavs are heavily influenced by Slavic admixture in the Middle Ages. Now Greece is a different story. But I would assume some degree of Slavic admixture was absorbed by Greeks as well. Sure, recent studies are showing that the we...

And yet, Greek Thessaly is even closer to the Paeonians than the Greek Macedonians who inhabit the neighbouring region of Paeonia. Indicating that there was some Slavic admixture in Greek Macedonia as well. There was probably some Slavic admixture in Thessaly as well. It’s just that the...

Are Macedonian Slavs taken into consideration in the G25 coordinates you posted? If so, then why did they not make the list? After all, they inhabit the Paeonian region. Not the Italians and Greeks. So there is a degree of population replacement. Doesn't this also apply to Greek Macedonia...

As you argued, they are Paeonians and not Macedonians. So why use them as a proxy for Macedonians? They are supposed to be different people. Geographically Macedonia is located at the Aegean. While Paeonia is inland territory, separated from Macedonia by a mountain range. And when I think of...

Also, the Ancient Macedonians lived on a small piece of land called Emathia. They descended from the Pindus mountains by the thousands. There were Mycenaeans on the coast of Emathia. The Macedonians had also pushed Paeonians a bit more Northwards. There were also other tribes living there called...
