[kuzmosi]

Thank you, but how can I read this studies?

 

[Jovialis]

Very exciting! Thanks for posting this Angela.

 

[Alyan]

The Neolithic Italy session must have the Italian samples in David Reich's recent interview.

 

[Angela]

Thank you, but how can I read this studies?

The conference is being held in September. Some of the papers might be published or in pre-print before then, however, so I'm keeping my eye out.

 

[Angela]

I'm particularly interested in this one:

Migration and social organisation studies through ancient genomic analysis of multi-faith populations from medieval Sicily (ERC Project "Sicily in Transition", SICTRANSIT)
Aurore Monnereau (York/GB)

It would be great if they've done an autosomal analysis of the Greek Orthodox people versus the Muslims. While it won't tell us how many Muslims were exiled later on, it will tell us something about the Muslim people who migrated to Sicily.

It's trickier with the Greek Orthodox versus any "Latins" they might have. The Greek Orthodox would presumably be the converted "natives", but perhaps there was some Byzantine influence? I think the Latin Christians would be the newer immigrants brought in to "pacify" the island.

Why would be different the language use in Sicily from that of the south penninsula if conditions were alike, Latinization of tribals and preservation of Griko communities.

The study is about religious communities, not languages, although yes, they would have been speaking different languages. It's unclear, however, whether the "natives" only used Greek for religious services and some continued to speak Latin, or whether they used Greek for both.

As to mainland southern Italy, it wasn't under Moorish rule for between 200-300 years, which was the case for Sicily, so you wouldn't find communities of Moorish speaking people there, except for a little while in Foggia where some Moorish mercenaries were settled. They were later scattered, however.

The Griko speaking communities used to be numerous in Sicily as well, and they were present in Calabria, but now most of them are in the Salento in Puglia.

 

[Dibran]

hopefully some late iron age/pre 500AD M458 pops up in one of these papers!@

 

[Salento]

Why would be different the language use in Sicily from that of the south penninsula if conditions were alike, Latinization of tribals and preservation of Griko communities.

... “... Greek-speaking communities of Southern Italy cluster with their Italian-speaking neighbors suggesting a long-term history of presence in Southern Italy.” ...
...... “The genetic patterns observed in Southern Italy integrate the picture of the genomic structure of Europe and the Mediterranean, and support different histories behind the evolution of the Southern Italian ethno-linguistic minorities, moreover emphasizing the importance of considering complementary scales of investigations and detailed population samplings to assess demographic processes involving tightly related ancestries.” ....

Another Tomenable downvote. The banned phantom poster strikes again.
