Some ancient v13 that has been found recently show a likely origin from western balkans and no correlation or link to eastern europeans like romanians/bulgarians etc - https://anthrogenica.com/showthread...rigin-of-E-V13&p=822006&viewfull=1#post822006
there are some ..............but majority of E ydna in North East Italy is

I26726 J-Z1297 should be by all accounts another Posušje culture find. This site in MBA belonged to Posušje culture, in EBA it belonged to Cetina culture and in CA/EBA to the Adriatic variant of Ljubljana culture.
So obviously this culture was the hub of early J-L283 expansion.
But considering the fact that Z1297 mutation most likely occurred in Dalmatia, Y21045 and Z1297 could have had some different migratory paths in their southwards expansion independent of each other. Also they could have been part of the same wave.
Thanks, that would make sense.
I think it's remarkable and quite telling that two of the oldest J-Z2507 samples (dated to MBA), which btw also belong to each of its branches, are found so close to each other. The "brother" clade to J-Z2507, that is J-Y146400, seems pretty western Balkan as well, with one of its branches found in NW Croatia and the other in south Albania. The middle point of these two would roughly correspond to the the region where we have the oldest J-Z2507 samples.
I know you claim Cetina culture had a different character from Posušje, but given this diversity, we may in fact be looking at J-Z597 as a lineage of the Cetina culture.
The Wikipedia article mentions:
It is named after the numerous sites along the Cetina river in Central Dalmatia and Herzegovina. People of this culture were present in caves (Skarin Samograd near Drniš, Gudnja near Ston, Ravlić cave in Drinovci) or in open settlements (Gradac in Kotorac and Krstina near Posušje).
And this MBA J-Z1297 was found precisely in Gudnja cave
It's also quite possible that Cetina and Posušje cultures were genetically very similar, considering they occupied the same regions and roughly the same timeframe (MBA).
In regards to J-Y21045, I don't think it could've been very far away either, but perhaps more inland. Within Albania, J-Y21045>PH4679 does show more of an eastern diversity.
Anyways, I'm sure future aDNA samples will shed more light. Places like Bosnia, much of Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, which should be interesting for J-L283 among others, remain pretty much black holes when it comes to available aDNA.
Not just me but recognized archeologists. I mentioned Gudnja was populated by Cetina prior to Posušje and prior to Cetina Ljubljana people lived there.
Genetically in archeological terms they are not related, and it is not possible they were.
Cetina was a syncretic culture involving primarily Ljubljana, Neolithic locals, then Bell Beaker and some Yamnaya, Glina. In the upcoming Pannonian study there are multiple Ljubljana samples with more EEF ancestry, and they seem to have Z2103. I don't think this fits into J2b2, based on this it seems they would have been more EEF shifted than Posušje, primarily based on these new Ljubljana finds. Maybe even approaching Mycenean like.
Doesn't Albania have 2 samples already? (I know you don't count them yet) Plus those (genuine) Daunians are from Albania. They give at least a partial picture of Albanian (more southern) areas prior to their migration.
J2B2-L283 was a proto-Illyrian marker, not an Illyrian marker. Look at the Slavic migrations. Slovenia/Croatia/Bosnia had an almost complete population turnover, while Albania only had a chunk of Slavic DNA. There's a geographical reason for that (Prolektije).
The proto-Illyrians descended from Central/Eastern Europe and caused an almost complete population turnover in the Slavic part of the Western Balkans. But I assume the areas around Albania will have some native EV-13/RZ2103 holdouts from IE populations like the Bryges.

But I assume the areas around Albania will have some native EV-13/RZ2103 holdouts from IE populations like the Bryges. The southern Balkans were a lot more populated. This is generally the case, and it's why northern Europe has more steppe DNA = southern Europe was always more populated.
Read on the Bryges
"according to the Macedonians, the Bryges "changed their name" to Phryges after migrating into Anatolia,[3] a movement which is thought to have happened between 1200 BC and 800 BC[4] perhaps due to the Bronze Age collapse, particularly the fall of the Hittite Empire and the power vacuum that was created. In the Balkans, the Bryges occupied central Albania and some parts of northern Epirus,[5] as well as Macedonia, mainly west of the Axios river, but also Mygdonia, which was conquered by the kingdom of Macedon in the early 5th century BC.[6] They seem to have lived peacefully next to the inhabitants of Macedonia."Illyrians came to Albania maybe in 1500-1000 BC, but there is IE archeological presence there even before that. Very similar to the early Beakers in England before Celts settled.
The daunian samples as per the August paper states they came from modern Croatia and not albania ..............read the paper
It is irrelevant what it states. Such papers also state things such as Mesolithic I2a Din etc. Per archeological evidence Daunians were from Albania, not from modern Croatia.
Or perhaps you can't read. This is what I wrote on the J2 page:
As a result, both the Illyrians and the Mycenaeans (and possibly the Albanians) would be descended from Middle to Late Bronze Age Steppe migrants to the Southeast Europe, in a migration that was particularly rich in J2b lineages from the Middle Volga region.
The Albanian (and Kosovar) population is one of the most homogeneous in Europe in term of shared recent ancestry according to. This means that the Albanians expanded from a very small population relatively recently, which explains why strong founder effects completely reshaped the Y-DNA frequencies. That is how E-V13 and J2b became to dominant among Albanians and Kosovars. That expansion probably took place during the Middle Ages, so based on the current data it is impossible to know whether E-V13 and J2b entered the Albanian gene pool during the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Classical Antiquity, or even the Middle Ages. Hence my reserve on the subject.
Romanians and Bulgarians in totality don't have much to do with ancient Balkan autosomally due to heavy Slavic admixture, no modern people is a good proxy of ancient Balkans, including Albanians or Greeks (except Dodecanese etc). Italians are a better proxy. The whole of ancient Balkan was sort of Italian-like in many ways, some Northern-like, some Southern-like etc. Ancient Western Balkan and Eastern Balkan had plenty of similarities but differences as well..
I suggest you do not devolve into useless drivel inspired by.And this is not a thread for E-V13 either.
Also Roman, Roman-MENA autosomal influence in modern Balkanites is underestimated.
What do you mean by the bolded part?
The entire Balkan was homogenous though. Look how close Thracians are to Mycenaeans.The huge news from these samples is that Illyrians are clearly 1 set of people. It's not a mixture of a bunch of tribes like it was thought.
This is a very homogenous group of people and there is a clear continuum from northern Greece to Slovenia.
The entire Balkan was homogenous though. Look how close Thracians are to Mycenaeans.
It just looks like most of these conquering IE did took a lot of local brides, even in zones in which the patrilineages led to a near total replacement. To put it simple, in the Balkans it was most of the time more like Iberian Bell Beakers rather than British Bell Beakers. This is true for Proto-Greeks, Proto-Illyrians and Proto-Thracians.
All three branched off as they penetrated the region, by picking up more and more local ancestry. Greeks probably the most of those, Southern, Lower Danubian Thracians come second place.
