Abstract

The most important objective of the joint archaeogenetic laboratory of the Institute of Hungarian Research and the University of Szeged is to reconstruct the population history of the Carpathian Basin, during which our initial efforts were focused on exploring the origins of the conquering Hungarians. Since the beginning of our work, we have kept up with methodological developments in the field, as reflected in our scientific publications. In our most recent work, we analysed a large number of samples from the Hun, Avar and conquest periods at the whole genome level. This is considered the most modern and highest resolution investigation given that it analyses the entire hereditary material set, from which it is possible to reconstruct the ancestry relations with high certainty. I will present these results in this paper, but I wish to note at the outset that our previous results from the analysis of maternal and paternal lineages were not contradicted by the genome results, but merely clarified to a considerable extent.
