Kutatócsoportunk északkelet-magyarországi régészeti ásatások során előkerült mesterségesen torzított koponyák több szempontú antropológiai vizsgálatával foglalkozik. A koponyák hun-germán korúnak datált (5–6. század) sírokból származnak. A mesterséges torzítás, mint szokás, koponyára tett hatásának minél részletesebb megismeréséhez szükséges, hogy...

The study’s goal is to propose a unified descriptive method for analysing artificial cranial deformation (ACD) in order to achieve consistent descriptions as well as to document the modification from a palaeopathological perspective. A number of examinations have dealt with the fact that ACD can either directly cause or predispose the formation of...

Az általunk megvizsgált 9 hun-germán korból (5‒6. század) származó mesterségesen torzított koponya Északkelet-Magyarország két temetőjéből, Ároktő Csík-gát és Nyíregyháza M3 36/c területéről kerültek elő. Megbecsültük az elhalálozási korukat, meghatároztuk a nemüket, a deformáció típusát és mértékét. Leírásra került az, hogy feltételezhetően milyen...

In the present paper the authors compared skeletal populations (2421 individuals) excavated from four cemeteries, namely Hajdúdorog-Gyúlás (10th century AD), Hajdidorog-Temetöhegy (11th century AD), Hajdúdorog-Katidülö (12th-13th century AD) and Hajdúdorog-Szálldáföld (12th-13th century AD) from a micro-region of Northern Hajdúság (located in the n...

From an anthropological point of view, artificial deformation of the cranial shape in newborns is one of the most interesting human customs, which has been recorded in all continents and in different cultures. However, the main goals of this procedure were basically the same everywhere; that is, to distinguish certain groups of people from others a...

Researchers have dealt with the issue of the artificial cranial deformation for a long time. Cranial deformation by various devices could be found in every historical era, in all continents. It is still a custom even in present days in some places. According to the anthropological studies, multitudinous appearance of the custom of artificial crania...

Craniometrical and anatomical investigations discovered that the structure of the populations living in the Alföld region (Hungary) might be quite different between the age of the Hungarian conquest (10th century) and the Arpadian age (11th-13th century). This statement was presumed on the basis of skeletons derived from cemeteries dating from both...

The basic aim of the present study is the water quality assessment of the Igrice marsh (Nature Conservation Area, situated in boundary of town of Nyíregyháza, northeastern part of Hungary) using by bioindication and chemical analysis. The phenomenon of biofiltration is well known: the different wetlands are efficient at removing nutrients and pollu...

We are doing biological and chemical water quality assessments for 2 drainage systems on Nagyvájás Canal and Keleti-öv Canal as well as Canal of Máriapócs in Nyírség region (Hungary) since 2008. The main goals of the present study were to determinate macroinvertebrate taxa (bioindication for calculation of the BBI and to do comparative analytical e...

János I., Szathmáry L., Kiss F., Hüse L.: Paleodemographical relationships in a micro-region (Northern-Hajdúság) in Tiszántúl in the X–XIIIth c.: In the present study the authors compared the populations of four cemeteries, namely Hajdúdorog-Gyúlás (Xth c.), Hajdúdorog-Temetőhegy (XIth c.), Hajdúdorog-Katidülő (XII–XIIIth c.) and Hajdúdorog-Szállás...
