Bottyán, O.: Data to the anthropology of the Hun Period population in Hungary

3. The group of the Foothill area I, Altai Range, shows differences similar to the Lugovo one. The similarity with the famous Lugovo cemetery is merely a morphological one, no historical connections refer to this locality. The single Hun Period groups, from the Western Baikal, stands in the last place in our relegation. Accordingly, the comparison of the groups gives the same result as that of the individuals, namely that on the basis of so few anthropometric data one cannot make an unassailable statement with respect to the ethnic assignment of the Hun Period individual from Budapest. Table 2 shows the comparison of facial profile data, on the basis of eight indi­viduals and the data of the Lugovo group. Table 2 Comparison of facial profile data Localities SA 2 A 3 1.

This is a Europo-Mongoloide skull (ALEXEIEV, 1954). The europoid features prevail over those of the Hun Period finding in Budapest ; the nasal root and the fossa canina is deeper, the face better profiled. 2. Abakan No. 4. The smallest nasal depth is still higher, the face less flat, the angle of nasal projection Europoide, the fossa canina deeper. Also this skull reveals more Europoide features than the Hun Period one from Budapest. 3. On the other hand, the skull of Grave No. 1, Oglahtii, is more Mongoloidé. The measurements DS and SS are Mongoloidé values, and the face is also flatter than that of the Hun Period., from Budapest. 4. The dacryal and simotical indices of Lugovo agree with those of the Budapest find, but angle NM (a Mongoloidé value in Lugovo) differs, and the nasal projection angle is also smaller, likewise of a Mongoloidé character. It should be emphasized again that the Lugovo values are mean values. The last place of the Table is occupied by the finding I/A of Naïmaa tolgoi. This is but natural, since the skull is Europoide (TÓTH, 1965). At the same time, the two most Mongoloidé findings from x^bakan are assigned
