Interesting. I renamed the average to "Albanian_Catholic_Mirdite", maybe the low Baltic is specific just for that area.
Maybe it's something even smaller, just a couple of villages, who knows

I think he is kind of an outlier, it is unlikely that on average they are that distinct from the rest of the Albanians.

Isn't Kelmendasi partly from Montenegro?

Which implies containing that East Med shift (like IA Thracians and unlike IA Illyrians).

Yes, maybe they will be something like the "Greek Western Thrace" on your PCA, when more results are added. But it's hard to say until we get more results from them.

9.23 of Baltic component is exremely low for Balkans indeed. But we need more samples from such people to have a proper knowledge.

If this has been shared, disregard.

An error seems to have crept into the the https://vahaduo.genetics.ovh/ script. The distance is misreporting the percentage amount. Need to move the decimal point two positions.

Should we make averages based on one person though?

I would propose, if others agree as well, to replace the entire K13 ancients spreadsheet with this one:

Some groups like Tsakonians and Maniots can have low Baltic like this, but they usually have more East Med/Islander shift.
I guess he's an atypical member of one of those groups.

The "Western Thrace" sample is Laconian ,same as the guy whose coords you posted.

Btw the most Italic/Paleobalkan(High NA and relatively lower baltic compared to other Balkaners with high NA) shifted people are found in Greece ,there probably exist many areas with such profiles.

Examples
