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.

The modern testers have more recent TMRCA with others from Germany, France, England and Italy, but not the Balkans. This proves they came from a separated population.

No, it doesn't because of co-migration events. And most of the in-group "recent TMRCA" is Roman/post-Roman in any case.

The only thing that actually matters is aDNA and aDNA tells us that E-V13 hasn't been found in hundreds of samples from Germany, France, England and central/northern Italy.

Again double standards. You use the same patterns as an argument for the Southern Balkans but discredit it for the rest of Europe. Such a pattern requires whole tribes to move.

Not necessarily whole tribes to Western Europe, but separate route from a Northern block in the Carpathian sphere.
