Watch this very interesting documentary:

There were apparently still some >90% EEF populations in the Balkans in Late Bronze Age.
Autosomal comparison of two women buried in the same cemetery, but few centuries apart:
Woman RISE595 (Late Bronze Age Montenegro - Velika Gruda site):
Neolithic_Balkan_Farmers ------- 93.44%
Afanasievo_Yamnaya ------------- 0.00%
Woman RISE596 (Iron Age Montenegro - same site, Velika Gruda):
Neolithic_Balkan_Farmers ------- 49.57%
Afanasievo_Yamnaya ------------- 50.42%
Maybe it had something to do with the Bronze Age collapse in that region?
But didn't Indo-Europeans come to the Balkans already in Coppe Age / Early Bronze Age?
So how is it possible that RISE595 LBA woman had no Steppe admixture.
Montenegro = full of mountains = one of last refuges for Non-IEs descended from EEF?
