Genetic analyses of an artificially deformed skull from an early medieval cemetery in Burgweinting (Regensburg, Germany)Schleuder R1,*, Wilde S1,2, Burger J2, Grupe G1, Forster P3, Harbeck M41,Department Biology I, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany2,Department of Anthropology, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz,Germany3,Institute of Forensic Genetics, Münster, Germany4State Collection of Anthropology and Palaeoanatomy, Munich, GermanyThe morphological examination of an early medieval burial site in Burgweinting, which is dated to the end of the 5 the century, revealed one female with an artificially, circularly deformed skull, a practice that is thought to be associated with the arrival of Nomads of the Eurasian steppe,particularly the Huns. Individuals with such artificial cranial deformations also can be found in other Late Roman and Early Medieval cemeteries in Europe mostly in the Carpathian basin but only as few isolated cases in Western Europe, where mostly women show such deformations. Regarding the artificial cranial deformations it is unclear whether a foreign custom was taken overby Germanic tribes or whether the individuals were members or descendants of Eurasian nomads.With the help of the find of Burgweinting, we exemplarily investigated this question.To identify the possible foreign origin of this female with alleged “Asian” skull deformation we sequenced the HVRI and HVRII region of the mitochondrial DNA. Our results show that the ancestry of a woman with artificially deformed skull can be linked to an at least partly Asian origin. So this indicates that at least some of the few individuals with skull deformation had not adopted the costume but can be seen as former members or descendants of the hunnish tribal community.
