Using F4 statistics, qpAdm, and identity-by-descent (IBD) analysis, we show that CB Sarmatians descended from Steppe Sarmatians originating in the Ural and Kazakhstan regions, with Romanian Sarmatians serving as a possible genetic bridge between the two groups._”

Fascinated to learn about the amount of salvaging and/or looting that took place in the months and years after the town died. Survivors neatly extracted all the statuary and the town bylaws placard cast in bronze from the forum.
