Absolutely. This shouldn't wonder, because they were the main competitors in the Carpatho-Balkan sphere and their rituals and belief system was in many ways antagonistic. By comparison, Celts were kind of intermediate relative to both.

The point is not getting some E-V13 here and there in the West Balkans, the crucial aspect is the context of the finds and that there won't be a lot pre-1.200 BC anyway, before the Channelled Ware expansion and Basarabi-Hallstatt. That after Urnfield/Basarabi some E-V13 was in the West Balkans...

They aren't from a solid Illyrian background though, or where are all the J-L283's? Instead, they are more Greek, possibly with some Liburnian and Thracian. Keep in mind that Veneti and Liburnian had a stronger cremating tradition than Illyrians proper, which had their clan tumuli and being...

I think that the Cotofeni population was already IE. We know that PIE groups moved into the Carpatho-Danubian sphere and this caused the transition to Cotofeni in the first place. However, their total genetic impact was low, kind of like in Anatolia or later with Magyars in the Carpathian basin...

Both Mako & Co had earlier Corded Ware contacts, but the main Corded Ware background was definitely Otomani-Füzesabony, because it derived from Kostany and Kostany is a branch from Mierzanowice, with Mierzanowice being both the main Epi-Corded culture of its time and the possible source for...

A Greek speaking harbour in Late Roman times is surely not representative of the general Dalmatian population of the same era IMHO.

The yDNA haplogroups look without a doubt primarily East Mediterreanean-East Balkan and are not local Dalmatian in their origin for the most part. This kind of supports the Greek-related settlement on the island.

Great catch! CTS1975 should be tested with FF assignment, so that's very interesting indeed. Kind of makes the spread with Anatolian farmers - which was the most likely option anyway, all the more likely. Probably one could tell that FTDNA, they sometimes test such interesting samples, get in...

As you know I posted about those samples on Genarchivist, but I really think we should be careful about their haplogroups, because of the distinctive South Eastern trend in the whole sample group. Before we don't get a confirmation, we can't be sure they are E-V13. The two likely are, but even...

The main branches of S2979 very clearly lived together much longer, this is especially true for E-FGC11450. Whether he is from the Garibaldi lineage of Giuseppe is unknown indeed, I just know that he is from the Garibaldis from San Buceto, Genova. Probably an Italian genealogist knows whether...

Catacomb culture was largely steppe and Yamnaya derived, rather not. I think that Cotofeni might have been the main spreader of E-V13 in the earliest period, or better it survived in Cotofeni, because at that time E-V13 was a very small male lineage still. It began to grow only later, in my...

Update on Garibaldi, he likely is not just E-V13, but more specifically E-FGC11450: https://discover.familytreedna.com/y-dna/E-FGC11450/story North Italians are undertested, but the best proxy might be the large Sardinian sample from Cagliari, with lots of E-Z5018/Z5017 members. Undeer...

YFull assigns to according to your results and the available samples on your branch. Like my own result is much less refined on YFull, since much less people have uploaded there than there are FTDNA branch members. On second thought, its also possible that if your branch was South Thracian, it...

Honestly I think uniparentals and IBD sharing are more important within the European context for determining exact ancestral relationships. Would be great if they would have used those methods, but I kind of doubt it. Körös-Cris is interesting, but kind of too old. Doesn't mean it couldn't...

North Western Bulgaria was throughout most of prehistory closer to North Eastern Serbia and Southern Romania, more of a core Thracian/Urnfield territory than the Rhodopes and Thrace proper. It was part of the Vartop zone where Channelled Ware largely replaced Encrusted Pottery, but did pick up...

Your branch is clearly yet another case for the LBA-EIA transition expansion of E-V13, presumably, in my opinion, with Gáva-related Channelled Ware. It is just one of the smaller, not as demographically impactful of these groups, yet we don't know for sure how much this is due to undertesting of...

I agree in principle, but the mtDNA analyses are not that safe IMHO. For E-V13 there is currently yet another lull after the latest Avar paper, which samples being still not analysed by FTDNA if I haven't overlooked it. The whole Danubian group of I2+G2 with high WHG (Encrusted Pottery...

E-V13 is the only haplogroup which pops up in all 3 sites with European lineages. J is clearly concentrated in one site only.

What does RK, KFJ, KUP, HNJ mean?

Let's say they look basically generic Central European, definitely not typically Slavic, but with clear Slavic heritage as well. Definitely not less Slavic looking than say some groups of the South Slavs. But in that region that means more than in Montenegro. However, one theory says they are...
