In 2003-2004, excavations on the outskirts of Balatonkeresztúr along the M7 motorway, led by Szilvia Fábián, revealed Bronze Age graves at a multi-stage site. In cooperation with the research program of the Momentum Mobility Research Group of the HUN-REN RCH Institute of Archaeology led by Viktória Kiss, the human remains from the graves were genetically analyzed by the researchers of the HUN-REN RCH Institute of Archaeogenomics. The results have recently been published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Molecular Biology and Evolution by Dániel Gerber et al.
Within the framework of the Momentum (Lendület) programme of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the director of our institute, Anna Szécsényi-Nagy's proposal entitled as „Life and Death at the Edge of the Roman Civilization: Complex Bioarchaeological Analysis of Pannonian Communities" has also been awarded a five-year Momentum (Lendület) grant and a new MTA-HUN-REN BTK (HAS-RCH HUN-REN) interdisciplinary research group will be formed in the Institute of Archaeogenomics from December 2023.
Anna Szécsényi, Director of our Institute, gave a keynote lecture at the 5th International and 17th Iranian Genetics Congress, organised between 6-8th March 2023. The title of the paper was 'Ancient DNA records from Western Asia:State of research on prehistoric palaeogenetics'.
