I find this whole idea that the dominance of E-V13 in Albanians as a founder effect matter not convincing at all. It can be true but the chances are slim.
There was a Thessalian-like outlier among the Illyrian samples and an Marche-like outlier. I recommend to not use those when modelling.
I think Bruzmi uses outliers to make E-V13 seem as a founder.
We still didn't get the full picture of aDNA Balkans, the Southern Arch was just a portion of it, let's wait for more samples, then we can probably make a better deduction. We still have a tremendous issue on locating the ultimate origin of E-V13, was it within Balkan-Carpathian border-zone (my favorite theory), or extreme East Balkans (Dobrudja and nearby) Danubian Delta/Lower Danube. I favor more inland Balkan-Carpathian horizont of course.
