The comparison submitted herein (Table 3) reflects convincingly the often very significant, positive correlations between the diameters constituting the combined index applied in these studies. Paleometallie Populations in the Central Danubian Basin By the simultaneous application of the combined index discussed above and the other combined index expressing the flatness of the splanchocranium (Table 4), we have analysed in the present study the morphological spectrum of the Aeneo­lithic (Baden culture) and Bronze Age (Pitvaros, Tápé) series excavated in Hun­gary. It can be established that, by the combined data of the six diameters of the cranium, the material of the three localities display a significant morphologic agreement with the population of the Tripolye Culture, areally bordering on the Central Danubian Basin. Nevertheless, no unequivocal picture can be formed, on the basis of the two combined indices, concerning the trend of the infiltration directed towards the Central Danubian Basin at that time or earlier, because the value of the preauricular facio-cerebral index of the Groszbrembach series is very similar to those from Hungary, while the Moravian exhibits an evel lower value
