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.

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} } @article{MTMT:34290505, title = {Burial Archaeology and the First Plague Pandemic}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34290505}, author = {Janet, E.
