Between
2006 and 2009 salvage excavations preceding the construction of M6 Motorway, a settlement
and related cemetery of nearly 2400 graves of the Late Neolithic-Early Copper Age Lengyel
culture have been excavated at the site of Alsónyék-Bátaszék, in southeastern Transdanubia.
The present study considers the northern, the so-called 010/B part of the cemetery, comprising
862 graves. According to current archaeological consensus in the formation of the Lengyel
culture the chronologically earlier Central European Linearbandkeramik culture (LBK) played
a crucial role, but can not be exluded an infiltration or migration of new populations during
this time period from the south, southeastern. The present dissertation has been designed to
investigate this fundamental question, based on the morphometric, taxonomic and
craniometric comparative analyses of the human remains unearthed at the the site. In addition,
I completed a detailed demographic analysis and publicate the frequency data of pathological
and dental alterations.
