I am happy to annonce, that the Goths have crossed the frontier again -this time it is The Frontiers in Genetics. doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2026.1… Our ancient-DNA study of Gothic-associated communities in Late Antique Bulgaria is out. They arrive much as they did the first time: not as one people. Two cemeteries share Gothic-associated material culture and Christian east–west burial, but they are not a single genome-wide population. The data support a formation process: migration, multiethnic coalition, and frontier incorporation, with steppe-related individuals among them, and a north-south admixture signal that predates the burials. I am deeply grateful to Todor Chobanov and the whole team, and to David Reich, @iosif_lazaridis and Tianyi Wang for an extraordinary collaboration. Be, however, warned: the Tervingi and the Greuthungi are back. On the Frontiers. I hope it goes better for the Romans (and everyone else) than it did last time. @FrontGenetics, #ancientDNA
