Interesting to see Ossetians plot in a region where Alans actually lived. Surprising because I didn't think they had so much Eastern influence (and I don't think they resemble the ancient Alans besides both primarily being West Asian + Eastern European (the Alan proportion of these components was probably reversed).

The Osset speak an Indo-European language. About the Halani/Alani we are not sure. They might have been some kind a Turk tribe, perhaps the Alpicur. Or maybe Sarmatian (per Sulimirski http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/alans-an-ancient-iranian-tribe-of-the-northern-scythian-saka-sarmatian-massagete-group-known-to-classical-writers-from ).

North Ossetians were shown to be 7.5% East Eurasian in Dienekes' Dodecad V3 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArAJcY18g2GadDUyeEtjNnBmY09EbnowN3M3UWRyN nc&authkey=COCa89AJ&hl=en_US&authkey=COCa89AJ#gid=0) and this was largely the case in K12b (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArJDEoCgzRKedEY4Y3lTUVBaaFp0bC1zZlBDcTZEY lE&hl=en_US#gid=0). This would be sufficient in shifting them eastwards a fair bit. Perhaps not the entire way, but certainly into the Caspian sea. The Scytho-Sarmatian connection might explain the rest of that eastward shift.

Interesting map!

That makes sense. Given the modern population of Kazakhs in Kazakhstan is eastward shifted. I was just expressing my doubts on whether they would plot in that location if that location was represented by Alans. Probably not IMO.
