E-V13 - Theories on its Origin and New Data

[Riverman]

Based on the Y-DNA, I would guess 5-6 out of those 11 in Romania are not from the "Real Sarmatians". That puts V13 at 15-20%, which is indeed much less than south of the Danube. On the other hand, one less or more sample could make the difference between 0% or 30-40% :-) It also seems two of the sites sampled in Romania are really close to the Danube, so will be interesting to see where the non-"Real Sarmatians" were found. The non-"Real Sarmatians" from Romania also look quite EEF-rich, more so than most in Hungary.

For Sarmatian era Hungary I have to look back at the samples from the 2022 study to see what can be derived by elimination.

BA Romania is dominated by various Clades of R1 and I2 whilst at the same time being a checkerboard
EV13 remains a bit of a mystery but now I’m toying with a Balkan mountains / eastern Dinaric origin

Unless there are new samples, the ones we got from Romania are irrelevant, come from unrelated groups and not from the cremation block of the LBA.
