Aurignac is known for the archeological excavations by Edouard Lartet in the 19th century which led to the definition of Aurignacian (45.000-35.000 BC). The area of Aurignac belonged to Comminges, heir to the Aquitanian civitas of the Convenae.
- Echantillon représentatif / Sample :
Taille réelle / Full Scale- Analyse anthropologique sommaire / Brief anthropological analysis :
- Type 1 : Complexion intermédiaire (cheveux de foncés à blonds, yeux parfois clairs, ...), leptomorphique, nez convexe et long plutôt parallèle à la face, yeux rapprochés, oreilles décollées, menton en pointe, mâchoires larges
~ Atlanto-Mediterranéen dinarisé
Intermediate complexion (from dark to blonde hair, frequent light eyes, ...), leptomorphic, convex and long nose rather parallel to the face, close-set eyes, lop ears, pointy chin, large jaw
~ Dinaricized Atlanto-Mediterranean
Il est inutile de multiplier les exemples : la plupart des individus de l'échantillon relèvent de ce type anthropologique déjà identifié ailleurs en Gascogne.
Showing endless examples would be useless : most people in the sample fall in that well-identified anthropological category already detected elsewhere in Gascony.
- Type 2 : Complexion foncée (cheveux noirs, ...), brachymorphique, tête large, petit nez droit, yeux éloignés parfois "pseudo-mongoloïdes", mâchoires larges
~ Alpino-Méditerranéen
Dark complexion (black hair, ...), brachymorphic, large face, little and straight nose, distant-set eyes, little "pseudo-mongoloid" eyelids, large jaw
~ Alpino-Mediterranean

- Morphotypes finaux / Final morphotypes :
Interesting Gascon sample. There are many who are very Basque-like, A7 and D3 being the most striking ones probably, while others are more ambiguous, somewhere between Basque and British, so to say (A1, A3, A4, A5) or with Iberian tendencies, yet also Basque-like often, (A8, B4, B5, C1, C2, D5).
ReplyDeleteOthers (notably C6, D6) are rather specific, having the Atlanid (pseudo-Dinarid) type but in a distinct quite Gascon-speficic tendency (my best guess).
There are also a few with Nordic tendencies and a few (C8 notably) that are like those Spaniards you only see in Tele5 rosy magazines (no idea where they are from, my best bet is from the sixth level of Hell).
