All I have seen by this paper, the 2 isotope papers and the 2 papers from the 2 italian women is that the daunians came from modern croatians lands .................I have attached part articles of the 2 italian women in earlier posts.
Either all these papers , scholars, archeologists etc are wrong or ................
As for your Bulgarian sample .................north-italians always match bulgarian and provenzal french samples closely..........it goes back at least 6 years
Puglia has very ancient samples ..............but does the neolithic period have a close union with late bronze-age and iron-age periods or is the time gap too great ?
If your C6 covers central italy and the Umbri and their sub-tribes of Sabellic, sabines, Samnites are all in central and south Italy ( not sicily ) and we are told the Umbri came from around central europe into Italy circa 2200BC, then is your C6 purely a central italian marker or should it be a central-northern italian marker ?
This is what Dodecad Globe 13 shows comparing Bulgarian_IA to modern populations. The closest are C_Italians, after them, Southern Italians.
