K. Zoffmann Zsuzsanna: Őslakosok és bevándorlók a neolitikus és rézkori Kárpát-medencében az embertani adatok alapján (A Somogy megyében újonnan feltárt Badeni temetők Penrose-analízise)

137 Autochtonous population and immigrants in the Carpathian Basin of the Neolithic and the Copper Age after the anthropological data (The Penrose analysis of the recently unearthed Baden cemeteries in Somogy county) ZSUZSANNA К. ZOFFMANN The present analysis determined the Penrose connections between 14 Neolithic and Copper Age series from the Carpathian Basin, 10 series from Central Europe, 11 series from Eastern and North-eastern Europe and 7 series from Southern-Southeastern Europe. Four dendograms were built from the resulting C

R

2 values expressing the generalised size+shape distances. They illustrate the connections of the Carpathian Basin in itself and the Carpathian Basin and the population groups of the other three geographical units respectively. The conclusions of the dendograms can be summed up in three points: 1. Lepenski Vir, probably of an Ukrainian origin, and the Alföld Linear Pottery population, which seems to have northeastern contacts, appear to be alien elements in our region, and their survival in the region cannot be demonstrated with the Penrose method. 2. Two large immigration waves arrived in the Carpathian Basin according to the Penrose analysis, both from south southeast. The early Neolithic Körös and the Late Copper Age Baden population groups could arrive from the same territories (Balkan, Anatolia). The applied method has not revealed the origin of the Starèevo population. 3. The rest of the Neolithic and Copper Age series of the Carpathian Basin cluster into sharply differentiated groups in every dendogram, evidencing the undisturbed survival of the autochtonous population of the region perhaps from the Pre-Neolithic to the end of the Middle Copper Age.
