Currently it looks like we can observe a combined effect of:
- Provincials moving South, when the Roman rule began to collapse. This was a real and fairly large movement of people as...

My idea is that Catacomb/MCW related people moved into the North-Eastern areas of the Balkans first, mixed with locals and didn't push at first into the Aegean, which, by this time was Pre-Greek in...

I just know the abstracts, I have no deeper insights.



That's something which should have started later and would have been better communicated. But who knows. However, there were likely three...

Yes, Mycenaean is synonymous with Greece.

As for the admixture, the migration could have happened in stages and its possible to likely that the chariot complex did just push groups further South,...

In Antiquity? Of course many people had E-V13 by then, but Romans played a minor role in its dispersal and originally it was coming from Eastern Urnfielders, the Proto-Thracians.

There is an upcoming paper which, in the abstract, clearly stated that "Central European" ancestry arrived in Greece in the Late Bronze Age (for the Aegean about 1.600 BC), which would correspond to...

There is no growth in the Roman era and very little to no overlap of the branches for that time frame. Most of the TMRCAs date to a much earlier period, which points to founder effects and expansions...

I'd say its possible there was a linguistic continuum of more distantly related language groups:
Italo-Celtic <-> Illyrian <-> Thracian-Dacian <-> Paeonian <-> Brygi-Phrygian <-> Hellenic/Greek <->...

I added AV2 to the Slavic source, because its the closest we got:

E-V13 from Avar-Hungarian paper:

Cremation was regionally concentrated, but:

Knoviz is different though, because they had way more sites and showed direct evidence for cannibalism. That's something we don't have from Eastern Urnfield, and in Gáva too sites for human sacrifices...

I wouldn't exclude E-V13 to by in Mycenaean Greeks, but I rather think it came with Channelled Ware and related cremating groups at the very end of the Late Bronze Age, while Mycenaean Greeks came at...

I agree with you on the conclusion, but not the argument. Because such forth- and backmigrations being actually extremely common and happened numerous times under various circumstances in prehistory....

The most Eastern source for E-V13 I can think of would be the Neolithic groups on the steppe or close by, especially Tripolye-Cucuteni. If you look at it from another perspective, Michelsberger,...

Yes, like there were other offerings in the ritual pits as well. But sometimes sacrifices and the other aspects overlapped, like prisoners of war or delinquents getting sacrificed. And ritual pits,...

I also used proper references for myself and others, with detailed known ancestry, and it works perfectly well, better than most other tools of that kind. There are some limitations, but that's...

Rather post-Mycenaean, especially Doric Greeks and Thracians. The problem of cremation remains, for a time, but with classical Greek and Thracian samples, we will see whether they arrived before the...

The Gáva-related Kyjatice sample BR2 was J2a, as you know, and he surely was IE with a fairly high level of steppe ancestry. How he came up there is yet another question, could be earlier or later. ...

Impresso-Cardial was most likely the original source, then we know it entered Lengyel and spread from there in different directions. Evidence comes from Michelsberger culture, which got strong ties...

I think the burial pits are sacrifices or even delinquents, or something else along these lines. Most of the non-cremation burials appear to be some sort of irregularity. Ritual pits are a common...

Strange idea, where do you got it from? The link doesn't provide any information on that.

If you look at the Corsican paper, it has for some sites less than 5 samples. Obviously that's not nearly enough to use it for percentages. Its probably ok for ancient DNA, if there just isn't more...

Perfectly clear. The only thing I would add is that if you take samples from a lot of those villages and areas, it will even out and unlikely being just a recent founder effect. But with small sample...

Also related to the Ligurians, the Genuese, as well as the Phocaens (Doric background), all possibly related to higher E-V13 frequencies, is Corsica, especially the area around Aléria, which shows the...
