Upcoming paper on Anglo-Saxon migration period??

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Venosa samples are ancient Samnites , who are a branch of the Umbri family

Foggia area borders in ancient times the Samnite-Daunian border ....................there is an Italian paper I recently read on the 3 or 4 ancient samples from there

No, they are samples dated to the 8th century AD.

In your dataset I see a Y-DNA BAI file for SWG004 but I don’t see a BAM file. Please advise.

I'm very curious about north European E-V22, is it just one common lineage dating recently? I think it crossed N.Africa -> Spain -> France and then I know there is a distant south German relative of mine who used to post here who was E-V22, so it may have gone several directions from France if my predictions are correct. Italy might also be an option.

It is from a Frisian paternal line, from Wartena in the center of Friesland. Stocky Frisians with names as Fokke and Haije.

I guess that there could be a connection with the Roman army, see for example, this sample, from Rhineland (which was Friesland also connected to via the Rhine):

The Rhineland was of course full of Roman founded cities like Aachen (Aquæ Grann), Köln (Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium) and Mainz (Mogontiacum).

Mainz had even an Isis Tempel:

Even the more Northern Saxons had a Legion in Phoenicia:

The Notitia Dignitatum records the Ala Prima Saxonum serving at Verofabula in the Levant under the Duke of Phoenicia (Bartholemew 1984, 169) and it may be that one of the veterans of that unit settled in the Patching area during the early 5th century, bringing with him an Egyptian glass vessel acquired on active service.

Phoenicia,Levant, Palestine and....



But I guess just a straw, idle hope...

I'm having some trouble following the continuity of the thread. Any Z209 so far? Got a bit greedy with ZAP002 being such a close relative. No expectations, I don't think my direct male ancestors were from northern Europe, highly unlikely as being AS anyways.

Yes, although as cited here it's called S450, a synonym for Z268, one of the eight equivalent SNPs of Z209. Two samples from Sedgeford are (many steps down from) S450. https://anthrogenica.com/showthread....l=1#post865503

Alt-Inden was really diverse. Its range of profiles literally spans almost all of European populations. In addition, to the profile (IND009) which is very close to medieval Erfurt Jews in just one site we find:
-a Germanic cluster
-a Gallo-Roman/Ibero-Roman (France-Spain) group
-a Sarmatian-shifted group
-a Roman Balkan & Italian group
-one individual who seems to be quite close to modern Basques (?)

As far as I'm aware -- and I get a little less aware every day -- this is the first (and second) report from aDNA of one of the SNPs found by testing me, at FGC, namely FGC15710. [I also have CTS10029, plus my own line of descent below that; and of course everything above FGC15710, including btw FGC15712.] Are these guys from the first century CE? I haven't found much about Sedgeford, the source of the SEDxxx samples in this paper. However it has been mentioned as a place with a good locally supported archaeological project. https://www.sharp.org.uk/ I looked at their Facebook page, and they're still digging, this hot summer.

I also have Jean Manco's posthumously published book on the Anglo-Saxons, with lots of pictures and maps and bibliography -- but no Sedgeford entries are indexed.

Anyway for me, finding a couple of uncles via aDNA is pretty exciting. But then I'm perhaps too easily excited, for a dried grape.

I've been involved at Sedgeford a couple of times, would definitely recommend a visit if you ever in the UK at the right time. They do courses too if you are not interested in volunteering.
They used to do tours on certain days, might still do that.

It did feature on one of the BBCs History of England episodes (I think with Michael Wood?). My one and only TV appearance as a bystander

I think Digging for Britain also featured it recently as well, if you have access to any of these programmes. Will give you a bit more background information.

From memory i think the main period of the site is mid Anglo-Saxon period, though there was some earlier remains from the Roman period.

I believe there was even a Roman period kiln or oven with a body in it (can't remember the details though).

Edit: Here's their publications page. I haven't looked through in a while but perhaps there might be something relevant.

actually think the Anglo-Saxons were a pretty cool people. I tend to blame the Normans and feudalism as introducing a lot of bad lasting traits within British rstab that never real left. They had a real steak of colonialist mentality in their ventures and saw themself like a caste and also inherited a Roman attitude to the Celtic fringethan as savages/inferior that stuck into Victorian times.

i should probably add that no people were as badly robbed of land and all positions of any power by the Normans as the Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Danes of England. They were left with nothing in the way of power and influence. British history books tend to gloss over this and portray it in terms of a change of royal dynasty and system but gloss over the complete ethnic replacement of any secular or ecclesiastical power by a caste of french speaking colonists. If I was English i’d have a much dimmer view of that and look at it as a kind of enslavement of the English by a French speaking Raj.

I now have to totally redo my top 3 closest ancient dna (aDNA) matches under my avatar
I'm frankly not surprised by this development as I tend to be quite A-S automsomally speaking.

Rather than clutter up this thread with similar posts, recommend you go here in this

Thread: Post your New Ancient Global 25 (with Paterson study samples)

to post this type of personal info. I just did.

I'll request a thread title change to be more generic.
