Slavicized.[2] Others believe that the tribe may in fact have been early Slavic, as noted by Lithuanian-American archaeologist Marija Gimbutas (1921–1994),[5] and others.[6] While some Serbian historians treat them as a Sarmatian tribe that was part of the Proto-Serb ethnogenesis,[7] some more fringe theories treat them as a historical Serb tribe, pushing the Serbs' history further into antiquity.[8] In the 10th century, the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos mentions in his book De Ceremoniis two tribes named Krevatades (Krevatas) and Sarban (Sarbani) located in the Caucasus near Alania. There were most likely the original Sarmatian tribes, but some researchers identify them with the Croats and Serbs respectively.[9][10]
