Extensive sampling for archaeogenomics (424 individuals) and isotopes, combined with archaeological, anthropological and historical contextualization of four Avar-period cemeteries, allowed for a detailed description of the genomic structure of these communities and their kinship and social practices. We present a set of large pedigrees, reconstructed using ancient DNA, spanning nine generations and comprising around 300 individuals. We uncover a strict patrilineal kinship system, in which patrilocality and female exogamy were the norm and multiple reproductive partnering and levirate unions were common. The absence of consanguinity indicates that this society maintained a detailed memory of ancestry over generations. These kinship practices correspond with previous evidence from historical sources and anthropological research on Eurasian Steppe societies 2 . Network analyses of identity-by-descent DNA connections suggest that social cohesion between communities was maintained via female exogamy. Finally, despite the absence of major ancestry shifts, the level of resolution of our analyses allowed us to detect genetic discontinuity caused by the replacement of a community at one of the sites. This was paralleled with changes in the archaeological record and was probably a result of local political realignment.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1476-4687}, orcid-numbers = {Gnecchi-Ruscone, Guido Alberto/0000-0002-6490-8101; Rácz, Zsófia/0000-0001-5116-2235; Samu, Levente/0000-0002-9967-9468; Szeniczey, Tamás/0000-0003-1546-7140; Faragó, Norbert/0000-0002-0351-1223; Friedrich, Ronny/0000-0001-5199-1957; Gulyás, Bence/0000-0002-7682-2065; Koncz, István/0000-0002-8113-5753; Balogh, Csilla/0000-0002-9161-1653; Bunbury, Magdalena M.

Most methods concerned the soft tissues of the body, the piercing, expanding, and stretching of which have been widespread in terms of both time and space. Significantly fewer procedures targeted the bony skeletal parts. One of these is the artificial modification of the skull, of which, also, examples are known from almost every historical period and continent. The custom of artificial cranial deformation became quite widespread in the Carpathian Basin in the Hun and Gepid Periods. This study presents the anthropological characteristics of people with artificially deformed skulls in the Gepid Period cemetery at Tiszaug-Országúti bevágás, unearthed in two seasons (2018–19).

According to the paleodemographic evaluation 63% of the community died before reaching adulthood. The mortality curve of males reaches its peak approximately at the age 45–49, in case of females the curve was bimodal: the rate of death peaks at the age 30–34 and 45–49 as well. The average estimated stature was 169.1 cm for men, and 160.2 cm for women. A craniometric comparison of the Tiszaug series with other populations living at the same area at the same time was not possible. This fact is due to the lack of published metric data from the studied era and time interval and due to the low number of measurable skulls without artificial deformation from the Tiszaug cemetery. During the investigation, 25 individuals with artificially deformed crania (ACD) were observed. Besides ACD, most of the frequently observable pathological conditions (infectious conditions, stress markers, abnormality of joints, etc.) were represented in the material.}, year = {2022}, pages = {17-40}, orcid-numbers = {Rácz, Zsófia/0000-0001-5116-2235; Szeniczey, Tamás/0000-0003-1546-7140; Marcsik, Antónia/0000-0002-3121-4365; Hajdu, Tamás/0000-0002-3604-1125} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:33267797, title = {Gepidák a Tisza mentén.
