Sclaveni or Sklavenoi were slavs that came to the balkans in the 7th century Were would they have plotted autosomally? Were they signifigantly northern of south slavs?

According to a recent peer reviewed paper on population genetics. The cluster defined as "Lithuanian" Is considered the purest indication of Slavic autosomal ancestry. Southern Slavs are a mix between Slavic and Native. So they wouldn't be the purest indication. However, given culture and linguistics are human social constructs, a South Slav is just as much a Slav as a North Slav. Because genetics are ever-changing.

Sclaveni or Sklavenoi were slavs that came to the balkans in the 7th century Im asking what they were like autosomally. Not pure slavs from the north.

Ahh the Sklavenoi. I figured you were being traditional. The Balkan Sklavenoi were supposedly on the Lower Danube for some time. As there is no ADNA to my knowledge in their case, it would be conjecture to say. They already had Neolithic admixture. How much is not certain at this juncture. I would ignore the clown Bosniensis though.

Probably. Modern South Slavs are probably a mix of Slavs and Meds.

They had Gothic substrate.
They were Slavicized Goths.
The end.
