Palaeopathological case studies provide invaluable information about the spatio-temporal distribution of TB in the past. This is true for those archaeological periods and geographical regions from when and where no or very few TB cases have been published until now–as in the Sarmatian period (1 st –5 th centuries CE) in the Barbaricum of the Carpathian Basin. The aim of our paper is to discuss five newly discovered TB cases ( HK199 , HK201 , HK225 , HK253 , and HK309 ) from the Sarmatian-period archaeological site of Hódmezővásárhely–Kenyere-ér, Bereczki-tanya (Csongrád-Csanád county, Hungary). Detailed macromorphological evaluation of the skeletons focused on the detection of bony changes likely associated with different forms of TB. In all five cases, the presence of endocranial alterations (especially TB-specific granular impressions) suggests that these individuals suffered from TB meningitis. Furthermore, the skeletal lesions observed in the spine and both hip joints of HK225 indicate that this juvenile also had multifocal osteoarticular TB. Thanks to the discovery of HK199 , HK201 , HK225 , HK253 , and HK309 , the number of TB cases known from the Sarmatian-period Carpathian Basin doubled, implying that the disease was likely more frequent in the Barbaricum than previously thought. Without the application of granular impressions, the diagnosis of TB could not have been established in these five cases. Thus, the identification of TB in these individuals highlights the importance of diagnostics development, especially the refinement of diagnostic criteria. Based on the above, the systematic macromorphological (re-)evaluation of osteoarchaeological series from the Sarmatian-period Carpathian Basin would be advantageous to provide a more accurate picture of how TB may have impacted the ancestral human communities of the Barbaricum.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1932-6203}, orcid-numbers = {Spekker, Olga/0000-0002-0350-1906; Kis, Luca/0000-0002-1021-2854; Marcsik, Antónia/0000-0002-3121-4365; Schütz, Oszkár/0000-0001-5521-3044; Török, Tibor/0000-0002-2128-1126; Tihanyi, Balázs/0000-0001-5124-4468} } @inproceedings{MTMT:34493120, title = {Honfoglalás kori köznépi temetők anyai vonalainak jellemzése, archeogenetikai módszerekkel}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34493120}, author = {Maár, Kitti and Neparáczki, Endre and Varga, Gergely István and Kovács, Bence and Maróti, Zoltán and Kalmár, Tibor and Nagy, István and Latinovics, Dóra and Tihanyi, Balázs and Marcsik, Antónia and Kustár, Ágnes and Pálfi, György and Raskó, István and Török, Tibor}, booktitle = {"Hadak útján" A népvándorláskor fiatal kutatóinak XXIX. konferenciája. = 29th Conference of scholars on the Migration Period}, doi = {10.55722/Arpad.Kiad.2023.4.2_07}, unique-id = {34493120}, abstract = {A régészeti leletekből kinyerhető archaikus DNS vizsgálata fényt deríthet egyének, populációk eredetére és rokoni kapcsolataira. Korábbi munkánk során elsősorban a honfoglalás kori szállási temetők genetikai kapcsolatait derítettük fel régészeti genetikai módszerekkel. A karosi és kenézlői temető együttesek nagy felbontású teljes mitogenom analízise azt mutatta, hogy a honfoglalók anyai ágú vonalai visszavezethetők az eurázsiai sztyeppe távoli részeire: harmaduk Közép-Belső Ázsia területéről származott, kétharmaduk pedig a bronzkori pontusi-kaszpi sztyeppe Poltavka-Potakovka-Szrubnaja kultúráira vezethető vissza. Felvetődött a kérdés, hogy ezek az adatok milyen mértékben vonatkoztathatók a teljes honfoglaló populációra? Hogy ezt a kérdést megválaszoljuk, vizsgálatainkat kiterjesztettük a 10. századi nagyobb sírszámú falusi temetőkre, melyek a honfoglalás kori köznépet rejthetik. A kiválasztott 6 falusi temető mindegyikéből 20-30 egyén anyai vonalait vizsgáltuk. A mintaválasztást elsősorban régészeti és antropológiai adatok alapján végeztük. Mivel a temetők többsége átnyúlik az Árpád-korba és korábbi antropológiai vizsgálatok több temetőben lehetséges népességcserét jeleztek, ezért a korai és a későbbi sírok összehasonlításával a népességcsere kérdésére is választ remélhetünk.

In every case, to reconstruct the biological consequences of leprosy, the detected bony changes were linked with palaeopathological and modern medical information. To reconstruct the social consequences of being affected by leprosy, conceptualisation of the examined individuals’ treatment in death was conducted. In every case, the disease resulted in deformation and disfigurement of the involved anatomical areas (rhinomaxillary region, feet, and/or hands) with difficulties in conducting certain physical activities. These would have been disadvantageous for the examined individuals and limited or changed their possibilities to participate in social situations. The most severe cases would have required continuous support from others to survive.
