longed neither to the "eastern" nor to the "local" group, and whose anthropological appearance had wholly differed from the others. And just as the single Europo-Mongoloid member of the population at Tengelic had at the same time been the head of the community, the same happened in the tenth century population at Kál. In that instance, the sole Europo-Mongoloid type member of the population (Grave 30) had also been the most distinguished one, therefore the head, of the community. The Tengelic and Kál examples further agree in I. Lengyel'

s having established the presence of two groups also at Kál, and there, too, the leading individual belonged to neither one of the groups. And the situation may probably have been similar with respect to the tenth century cemetery at Sárbogárd, wherein the head of the first generation of the community (Grave 33) had completely differed in its anthropological appearance from the other male members of the group. It goes without saying that the materials and data of two or three cemeteries are insufficient for the investigation of this socio-historically extremely interesting phenomenon. It is to be hoped that the anthropological elaboration of further cemeteries of the tenth century will shed some more light on, and thus allow to learn more about, this phenomenon, now only to be registered.
