Paleoanthropological research in Hungary
This essay offers a brief and selected review of the paleoanthropological research in Hungary by chronologically listed studies in which new trends, methods and observations are to be found. The studies mostly focused on the populations of the Carpathian Basin according to their origin, regional distribution and morpho-taxonomical characteristics with the help of statistical methods. Their way of life and nutrition, their paleopathological, paleodemographical, paleoserological, paleostomatological and paleosociographical features were also investigated. At the end of the review there is a brief report on the current state of the Hungarian anthropological collections, housed in the Anthropological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, the Department of Anthropology, University of Szeged and in different county museums

part of the medieval university in PĂ©cs. The remains of 19 human skeletons were found insight the ruins of the
chapel. Most of the subjects were males

Their morphological features, which differed significantly from the
populations in the region, could imply their alien origin
Csákvár késő római kori népességének embertani vázlata
Anthropological sketch of the Late Roman Period population from Csákvár:
At Csákvár-Széchenyi úti kertek site (Hungary, Fejér county) there was excavated a part of a huge Late Roman Period cemetery. 1911 graves came to light, from which 1656 skeletons could be examined. There were 593 infant, 101 juvenile, 454 male and 508 female skeletons. In the adultus age group the mortality rate of the males were higher than that of the females. The traumatic alterations show as well that men were exposed rather to physical stress. The population belonged to the Europoid great race mainly with a dolichocranic skull and tall stature, and shows similarity with the series from Esztergom-Bánomi-dűlő, Tác-Margittelep and Pécs-István-tér. There were 17 artifically deformed skull in the material. In a double grave two decapitated men were buried. No archaeological analysis was accomplished by this time

Neolithic land-use, subsistence, and mobility patterns in Transdanubia: Amultiproxy isotope and environmental analysis from Alsónyék – Bátaszékand Mórágy – Tűzkődomb
A variety of interdisciplinary research on mobility and migration patterns in Neolithic Hungary has recently contributed to the explanatory models of the Neolithisation across Europe. Most of these models were based on a combination of the spatial distribution of material culture or bioarchaeological and genetic analyses to determine large-scale migration and social or population-dynamic development. This paper aims at contributing to the current discussion by introducing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary multivariate environmental and multiproxy strontium and oxygen isotope analyses in combination with detailed archaeological interpretation of unique Neolithic site-complexes in southern Transdanubia. The integration of historical and modern environmental attributes, bioarchaeological data, and material typology allows for the determination of small- and large-scale mobility patterns and subsistence strategies in southern Hungary.A variety of interdisciplinary research on mobility and migration patterns in Neolithic Hungary has recently contributed to the explanatory models of the Neolithisation across Europe.
