The Albanian Genetics project Rrënjët updated their page about E-V13.
Here are their claims, googls translated for non-Albanian speakers:
Possible area of spread 4000-5000 years ago, according to today's results
Ancient E-V13 results:
>2500 years – red;
2000-2500 years – orange.
Possible spread area of E-V13 according to modern and ancient results (Pannonia, Dardania & surroundings, Thrace).
E-V13 is the most frequent haplogroup among Albanians, with about 28% of paternal lines in the project. It has a more or less uniform distribution and concentration in all Albanian territories, therefore it is important to research the general origin of the haplogroup. On the other hand, specific branches have different distributions and frequencies from each other and must be considered each according to its own history of propagation.
Origin of E-V13
All carriers of E-V13 have a common ancestor who lived around 4900-5100 years ago, i.e. during the Bronze Age. Before this period, as part of the macrohaplogroup E, the ancestors of E-V13 must have settled in Europe with the successive waves of Neolithic cultures spreading from Anatolia and the Levant. Discoveries of ancient or closely related branches of E-V13 include E-L618 from the Neolithic in Croatia, Hungary, Ukraine, etc., while the closest present-day branches are in Europe and northern Africa. It is likely that different lineages of macrohaplogroup E were part of different cultures from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. However, the trunk of the main branches of E-V13 began to take shape thousands of years after the spread of agriculture, in the Bronze Age, at the same time as the Indo-European influx from the Steppes. Even the main distribution of E-V13 in the Balkans occurred in the Bronze and Iron Ages, when the historically known peoples of the Balkans (Illyrians, Thracians, etc.) were already Indo-European in language and culture.
Using the genetic results of today's populations, the ancestry of a paternal line can be traced by assessing the diversity of its branches and sub-branches. In this regard, the greatest weight is given to the oldest branches that also contain old sub-branches with a concentration in a certain area, as these suggest an ancient presence in that area. Today, E-V13 has several branches of pre-Roman age in various parts of Europe, but most have Balkan and non-Balkan sub-branches that are connected about 2400-3100 years apart. A large proportion of the western sub-branches were probably established there in the Roman period, but a large number of branches must have spread earlier. As these usually have an age matching the Iron Age and are found today on both sides of the Danube, it can be speculated that Pannonia was an important source of E-V13 proliferation in this period. This includes the northern/central part of the Balkans and the neighboring area in central Europe, a region we have mentioned for years as a possible starting point for the distribution of E-V13. It should be emphasized that up to this point we have examined only the modern results, which give an important orientation, but which must be combined with the data of ancient bones.
In studies published in the last 3-4 years, E-V13 findings in ancient bones have a more eastern distribution. Finds from the beginning of the Iron Age are a large number from Bulgaria and a single result from Slovakia, while from the later pre-Roman period there are other results from Sicily, Prague, Croatia, Moldavia, Ukraine and again from Bulgaria , the country where E-V13 has been found continuously since the beginning of the Iron Age. So by now, E-V13 has significantly higher pre-Roman concentration and diversity in the central/eastern Balkans, and was likely densely found among the Thracians and less frequently in NW Illyria. There are still no pre-Roman results from Dardania and the surrounding area, but later results suggest that it was found among the Dardanians, possibly in high percentages (remains to be verified). It should be noted that these results appear a full 2000 years after the initial spread of E-V13, so the conclusions are again relatively preliminary. New ancient results, especially from the Bronze Age, can bring key innovations.
From the diversity of modern results and from ancient results, it seems that the most likely area of the first spread of E-V13 was somewhere between the Pannonian basin (Vojvodina/Hungary & western Romania) and present-day Bulgaria, including the entire central Balkans . Perhaps it was precisely this intermediate zone that initiated the spread in several directions, but details of this level require even more complete data. Regardless of which specific part of it was the starting point, this entire area must have been an essential part of the early spread of E-V13, also serving as a source for branches of E-V13 in other regions. More modern quality results and especially more results from Bronze Age bones will be needed to determine with greater precision and certainty the geographic origin of E-V13. In any case, looking at the rather scattered findings, it seems that all the main peoples of the Balkans had in their composition at least some branches of the E-V13 haplogroup since the pre-Roman period.
E-V13 among Albanians
Today, haplogroup E-V13 has the highest density in the world in Albanian lands. The highest percentage is found in Kosovo, Malësi, Labëri, Tirana/Durrës. Most of the main branches, such as: E-BY4459, E-Y146085, E-PH2180, etc., have started to spread since the period of Albanian ethnogenesis, in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Since the origin of E-V13 in general has not yet been precisely determined, even the placement of most branches of E-V13 in Albanian lands remains controversial. However, between Pannonia and Bulgaria, from whichever region the spread of E-V13 started, the closest connection to the Albanian lands is the former ancient territory of Dardania. Most likely, many present-day E-V13 lines among Albanians either have their origins around the Dardania area, or were first established in Dardania (from the north or east) and then spread more widely to other lands.
It must be said that the time and the path of spread may differ from one branch to another, but the main periods were probably the Iron Age and the period between Antiquity and the Middle Ages. As we mentioned above, since the pre-Roman period, E-V13 must have been present in the paleo-Balkan peoples from the Adriatic to the Black Sea. Concretely in Dardani, the strongest evidence for an ancient presence are the 3rd-5th century results from Nishi and from Timacum Minus.
At branch level, there are quite big differences in today's distribution in the Albanian lands. A large number of branches of E-V13 can be found in different provinces, which suggests presence in the arboreal/Albanian population since the period of ethnogenesis. Among these are E-Y173822, E-Y146085, E-BY4459, E-PH2180, E-FT17132, E-Y159601, etc. Today's diversity suggests that most of these lineages must have spread from the northeast about 1400-1800 years ago.
It is very likely that a large number of other branches were also part of the arboreal/Albanian ethnogenesis despite the later or more geographically limited distribution. For each of the main branches of E-V13 among Albanians, we have published separate articles where each is examined in more detail: E-BY4459, E-Y173822, E-Y146085, E-Y93102, E-PH2180, E-BY168279. Articles will be constantly updated as data is added. Meanwhile, we emphasize that E-V13 is the Albanian haplogroup with the highest number of results of insufficient quality for sub-branch determination, with about 80 such results. We invite the members of the E-V13 haplogroup to improve the quality of the analysis, so that the diversity and distribution of the E-V13 branches among Albanians is more deeply understood.
