Fig. 8. Comparison of some craniological series (I. Mill. AD.) The third chronological period contains the Árpád Period and Middle Ages findings from the Central Danubian Basin, and the respective foreign series. In this connection, the closeness of the Conquering Hungarians, the Sarkel Great Kurgan, the Northern Osset, and the Pereyaslavian Poljan groups can be observed (Table 5, Fig. 9). At the same time, the remoteness of the Hungarian series from the time of the Conquest and the findings of the Árpád Period from those of the the Eastern Ugors, the Kazahstanian Türks, and the Eastern Finns is very conspicuous. The nearness of the Northern Osset and the Conquering Hungarian series corroborates the common ethnogenetic substrate in the Sauromatian — Sarmatian Period. ALEXEYEVA (1966) has recently attempted to delimit the OldSlavian and Old German populations by recourse to an extensive cranilogical material and the apphcation of some special indices. In the analysis, she investigated the comparatively independent characteristics of the neuro- and splanchnocrania (hundredfold cranial
