| March 2024 | A preprint on BioRxiv provided new insights into Visigoth genetic origins, demonstrating that most of their ancestry derives from Southern Europe, with some Iberian Gothic samples showing approximately 50% northern European genetic connections to populations from the Baltic Bronze Age and regions associated with Slavic population spread. |
| March 2019 | A genetic study published in Science analyzed the remains of eight Visigoths buried at Pla de l'Horta, revealing their complex genetic ancestry: 73% from Northeast Iberian populations, 23% from Central/Northern European populations, and 4% from Central/Eastern Mediterranean origins. |
