A bioarchaeological research team from ELTE, with Tamás Szeniczey (Department of Anthropology, ELTE Faculty of Science) and Eszter Melis (Institute of Archaeology, ELTE RCH) as first authors, has analysed the biological connections underlying the profound cultural, social, and economic transformations observed in Central Europe during the Early Bronze Age. Their findings were recently published in the prestigious journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences. The study highlights that, during this period—contemporaneous with the Middle Bronze Age in Hungary—numerous communities with distinct cultural characteristics emerged along the Danube.
