The Glasinac-Mati Complex (1300-200 B.C)
Discovered independetly by Yugoslav and Albanian archeologists, G-M is the coalesced form of the people known as Illyrians by Greeks in classical antiquity.
Zlot group was originally part of LBA Gava and later showed G-M similarities.
This is also true autosomally. "EHG" from Samara, Karelia, Khvalynsk, etc are all related but have slightly different proportions of ANE, WHG, and CHG ancestry. WHG, on the other hand, are far more homogenous, with WHG in Wales and Germany being nearly the same 1/2

In 279 B.C. the Dardanian king offered Keraunos 20,000 soldiers before the Gauls clashed with the Macedonians. His naive rejection cost him his life and allowed the Gauls to plunder Greece before returning northward. They were all destroyed by the Dardanians and not one returned.
The spread of Mramorac belts and their origins.
Whilst originally thought to be a possibly Triballian invention, later older finds amongst Glasinac and North Albania which developed belt types independently from each other it became clear its origins are within Glasinac-Mat- 1/n
Regarding genetics, a sample from the area distribution of Osijek-Belgrade types in 360 B.C appears with a profile akin to those of Illyrian graves from Velika Gruda, Cinamak and Skopje. F2, F3 and G25 euclidean distances were used to showcase that:
is roughly between the 7th and 4th centuries B.C, with later variants found as late as 50 B.C. Most archeologists argue the belt design would've developed amongst the Autariatae, and later become popularized amongst other Illyrians, as well as Triballi, Scordisci and Dacians. 3/n
Genetics circles are kind of funny because you often find people blaming the Fall of Rome and the state of Modern Italy on Italians becoming less like Spaniards
Which is ironic given the typical opinion these people have on Spaniards
@CapriCaput Dan Tabin explained that F3 is est amount of shared ancestors between 2 pops post OoA, so theoretically Italians would be closer since they are descendants of Italics.
One of the biggest reasons for Hoxha’s break with the USSR was Khrushchev’s insistence that Albania abandon its programme of industrialisation and instead focus primarily on agriculture, supplying food to the rest of the Eastern Bloc.
Misha Glenny notes that Mussolini’s imperial ambitions were partly driven by humiliation. Italy’s army had been beaten in Ethiopia in 1896 and driven out of Vlorë in 1920 by, in his words, “a few thousand disorganized but fiercely patriotic Albanians.”
