How can we know it's Thracian? We don't have specimens from Ancient Greece. And also take note that Nicaea was colonized from North Greeks. We have zero specimens from North Greeks so far. Besides, if these people from 2000 years ago were Greek speakers, they're Greek in my book.
E-V13 sample from Bulgaria 400 AD I checked out does not show any Near Eastern admixture. Neither does sample from Nish.
You didn't read the paper?
"We generated genome-wide data from 70 ancient individuals from present-day Serbia dated to the first millennium CE; including Viminacium, capital of Moesia Superior province. Our analyses reveal large scale-movements from Anatolia during Imperial rule, similar to the pattern observed in Rome, and cases of individual mobility from as far as East Africa."
What are you using as a proxy for "Near Eastern"? The whole point of the paper was to show these large scale movements.

Samples that are more Near Eastern usually score high Iran etc.
E-V13 sample from Bulgaria 400 AD is not Near Eastern or Anatolian but has a typical Iron Age Thracian profile. Same with E-V13 sample from Nish which is similar to some Southern Illyrians / Macedonians.
I am aware that such movements occurred but you're quoting a Serbian paper and they could be exaggerating.
I'm talking about West Anatolian, not Syrian or Caucaus people. The area around Constantinople.
If you use Izmir Byzantine E-V13, he serves as a decent proxy for people that came after him.
Yeah, which I'm doubting in OP. In Albania/Croatia, the medieval samples clearly plot more "southeastern" than Iron Age.
Some delusional people are making everyone and everything Thracian. Apparently Thracians colonized Anatolia and I wasn't even aware.
Yeah, we had that, you don't know a lot of things, which is part of the problem:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bithynia
The main reason why we haven't found a lot of E-V13 in the Iron Age is two-fold:
1) We have the relevant cultures which used inhumation (as well) not sampled (Mezocsat, Basarabi, Ferigile, Babadag - only Psenichevo, and there we had a lot of E-V13). Only Mezocsat being sampled, but only females and one actual Cimmerian/steppe derived individual which was an outlier of this group of local females autosomally.
2) A large portion of the Thracian cultures can't be sampled, because the Proto-Thracian G�va group and later Northern Dacians did regularly cremate. They did so for the time span of three millennia in their core region at the Upper Tisza/North Carpathians:
https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threa...an-case/page29?p=660017&viewfull=1#post660017
It's a subclade found in Thracians. With the Thracian colonization happening it makes it even a stronger hypothesis. I am not saying that the subclade being Northern Greek is out of question but it's more likely to be Thracian. Let's look at the facts and speculate.
Even if you turn out to be right, it's merely luck. I gave my analysis.
It's not going to be luck if I turn out to be right. We know that Greeks founded, settled and inhabited Nicaea. They were speaking Greek in that city. And autosomically they were Aegean peoples. Not Anatolian or Balkan. We have very few Ancient Greek specimens. Only four samples from mainland Greece to be exact. And that's as early as the Bronze Age. Moreover, the modern Greeks have a good dose of E-V13. All localities they inhabited have E-V13. So I wouldn't call a clade Thracian just because we found this clade in Thracian territory and not in mainland Ancient Greece (yet). I find it that it would be a remarkable coincidence that 2 of the 3 clades we have from a Nicaea are actually Thracians and not Greeks.
The question really is when the clearly (later) Greek E-V13 lineages, which are not Albanian, Vlach and Slavic derived, did enter the Greek population and gene pool. At one time, or at different times. Early or late. That's really something we will only know with sufficient sampling, because there might have been regional and ethnic differences within Greece. Obviously those which were more influenced by Channelled Ware and being closer to the Thracians are more likely to have had it earlier, but even that is just an educated guess, because in theory, especailly the male Greek lineages could have been keen to isolate themselves from foreigners. Yet we know that foreigners lived in Greek cities, like slaves, mercenaries, workers - even in Sparta there were the Perioeci. Some of these might be considered non-Greek migrants - but again, we don't know their exact ethnic composition and how much of them were local Greeks or foreigners.
