The Lengyel culture, spanning from approximately 4800 to 4000 BCE, played a significant role in the transition to the Copper Age in Central Europe. This cultural era witnessed the emergence of mining, craft production, and the trading of copper and obsidian, alongside the expansion of larger-scale farming. In their book titled "Health and Disease in the Neolithic Lengyel Culture," the authors delve into the migratory journey of the Lengyel people as they moved westward from their ancestral homeland in modern-day Hungary to regions in present-day Czech Republic and Poland. By employing advanced research techniques, including the analysis of trace elements in human bone tissue and paleopathological examinations of congenital defects, the book provides compelling evidence that the Lengyel migration occurred in waves. This revelation offers valuable insights into the dietary shifts, health conditions, and mobility patterns of a people who played a pivotal role in the development of early European civilization.
