Archaeological and genetic studies of the Lombards and migration of barbarians in Europe 6th-century
Lombards are an ancient Germanic tribe, also known as pawnshops or long beards. One of the groups of barbarians.
In the new study, scientists studied genomic data from 63 people from the burials of Solada in western Hungary and Collingo in northern Italy. In this work, the goal was not the ethnic affiliation of individual buried people, but the study of the social organization of these communities as a whole and their migrations. Because ethnic identification in those days was voluntary, taking into account the mass migration of peoples.
As a result of the research, both cemeteries demonstrate similar genetic sets, despite the distance between them at 820 km. Most of the buried were representatives of Central and Northern Europe with a small admixture of Finns, and the rest, less than half, were Tuskans who lived in Italy at the time, with an admixture of Iberians from the neighboring Iberian peninsula. Simplified, they can be divided into southerners and northerners. Both in Solada and in Collegno, the genetic structure is reflected in the practice of burials, namely how the living members of the community represent the people they buried. The burials were organized around relatives of three generations, mostly representatives of Northern and Central Europe. These individuals differ from others in a number of ways, such as: access to food with a large number of animal proteins, their graves occupy prominent places in the cemetery and the oldest buried people in the cemetery are also from the northerners.
