ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is the assessment of biological distance between populations from Roman
period on the basis of the frequency of odontological traits. It is well known that these traits are
characterised by high inter-population differentiation, low sexual dimorphism, and their recording
is loaded by relatively small intra and inter observer error. They also complete their growth early
during the development and they are less sensitive than bones to unfavourable environmental
conditions. The odontological traits are successfully used in the description and explanation of the
microevolutionary and ethnogenetic processes.
This paper presents the results of the odontological differentiation of human populations
identified by the archaeologists with Wielbark Culture and Czerniachów Culture from Roman
period. The results may to some extent verify or reject the hypothesis concerning the continuation
or discontinuation of the settlement of Oder and Vistula river-basin at the turn of the ancient and
the early mediaeval times.
The skeletal material under study consists of permanent teeth that belonged to 80 individuals
coming from the burial ground in Kowalewko in Great Poland from Roman period (1
st
–3
rd
c.
A.D.). Eighteen odontological traits were taken into account. The comparative analysis was carried
out on the basis of 12 populations (2 additional Wielbark ones, and 4 Czerniachów and Balts
groups respectively). The frequency of the odontological traits among all populations was analysed
using principal component analysis.
From the obtained results we can draw following conclusions: The populations of Wielbark
Culture and Czerniachów Culture can not be differentiated as far as the frequency of odontological
traits are concerned. They also exhibit similar intragroup variability. The Balts are characterised by
a different frequency of 4 out of 8 traits in comparison with the above-mentioned craniological
series; the odontological traits differentiate to a high degree populations belonging to varied ethnic

and cultural complexes and are a good tool for investigating the biological variability of skeletal
populations
INTRODUCTION
The aim of the study is the assessment of biological distance between
populations in Central Europe from the Roman period on the basis of the
analysis of the frequency of odontological traits. These traits are characterised
by high inter-population differentiation and the analysis of their occurrence
enables researchers to obtain data concerning the genetic relationships between
human populations identified with different ethnic complexes.
Odontological traits are used successfully in the description and explanation
of both evolutionary and microevolutionary processes
.
Since teeth complete
their growth during the early stages of an individual’s development, they are
greatly determined genetically and their morphological structures are sensitive to
only slightly to environmental influences. Teeth are usually well preserved in
archaeological material and are often the only source of observations of human
remains (Kaczmarek, 1992; Kaczmarek and Py uk, 1985; Kozak-Zychman and
Segeda, 1996, Papreckiené, 1981; Zubov, 1974, 1998; Zubov and Chaldieheva,
1979, 1989, 1993).
For many years in the fields of anthropology, archaeology and linguistics
there has been
a heated discussion about the process of Slavs ethnogenesis.
Recently, this has lead to many controversial hypotheses that influence the
historical and ethnic interpretations (Godłowski, 2000; Piontek, 1991, 1992,
1993).
The results of this paper on the odontological differentiation of Wielbark and
Czerniachów populations from Roman period may to some extent verify or
reject the hypothesis that refers to the continuation or discontinuation of the
settlement in Oder and Vistula river-basin at the turn of the ancient and the early
mediaeval times.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The skeletal material comes from the burial ground in Kowalewko in Great
Poland 20 kilometers to the North of Poznań. The excavations were carried on
for 4 years between 1995–1998 by the archaeologists from the Archaeological
Museum in Poznań in co-operation with an anthropologist from the Institute of
Anthropology of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Skorupka, 2001).
Odontological Analysis of Wielbark Culture Population
129
Figure 1. Location of cemetery in Kowalewko
The excavations resulted in the exploration of 498 skeletal and cremation
graves The archaeological description of the cemetery and its chronological and
cultural characteristics were presented by Makiewicz (1998) and Skorupka
(2001) who identified the population from Kowalewko with Wielbark Culture.
The cemetery was dated to the
Roman period, from the second half of 1
st
c.
to the beginning of the 3
rd
c. A.D. It was used for about 170 years (seven
generations) and one generation is supposed to have been composed of 80
persons (Makiewicz, 1996). The skeletons were badly preserved and only
several skulls and long bones were analysed. The better
state of preservation
presented fragments of maxillae and mandible with teeth (Rewekant and Segeda,
2001).
The skeletal material under study consists of permanent teeth that belonged to
80 individuals. Their age at death and sex were estimated according to the
methods recommended by European anthropologists (Piontek, 1999).
As for the sex estimations it was impossible to always use the same traits
since the skeletons were fragmentary. In most cases traits of the skull and pelvis
were taken into account and occasionally ones that express sexual dimorphism to
Serhiy Segeda et al.
130
a lesser degree. Twenty percent of the individuals remained unsexed. Age at the
time of death was estimated on the basis of the degree of ossification of various
morphological structures. The number of erupted permanent teeth and the length
of long bone shafts were used to estimate the age at death of children (Stloukal
and Hánaková, 1977; Ubelaker, 1989).
The age at death of adult individuals was estimated taking into account the
degree of cranial suture obliteration, tooth-wear patterns and, in some cases,
phases of pubic symphysis modification and dimensions of epiphyses medullary
cavities of humerus and femur.
Overall, teeth belonging to 14 male, 32 female and 14 child skeletons were
analysed. Since in the case of 13 individuals it was not possible to estimate sex
and more precise age at death they were included in this group of persons who
had died during their adult life (over 20).
The frequency of eighteen odontological traits of the
permanent teeth were
analysed. All traits were recorded according to the methodology used in physical
anthropology and described by Turner (1987) for ASU project (Arizona State
University) and also by Zubov (1968, 1974, 1977), based on research projects
realised by Russian anthropologists and anthropologists from various countries
in Asia and Central and Eastern Europe (Balčiùniené and Jankauskas, 1993;
Balčiūnien and Malinowski, 1993; Ismagulov and Sichimbajeva, 1989;
Kaczmarek, 1979, 1980a, 1981a, 1981b, 1988, 1991, 1992; Kaczmarek and
Py uk, 1985; Kaszybadze, 1984; Kozak-Zychman and Segeda, 1994;
Papreckiené, 1981; Papreckiené and Česnys, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1987; Salivon,
1972; Segeda, 1989, 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001; Stęślicka, 1967, 1970; Zubov,
1973, 1998; Zubov and Chaldiejeva, 1979, 1989, 1993; ądzińska, 1996).
Description of traits was made mainly in accordance with definitions
proposed by Zubov (1968, 1974) considering the necessity for comparison with
other results for populations from Eastern and Central Europe.
Particular traits were observed on the basis of different numbers of
individuals (from 34 to 68). The frequency of each trait in the studied group and
also the frequency of its variants were calculated.
Following odontological traits were used in comparative analysis:
1) shovelling of I
1
;
2) Carabelli’s cusp on M
1
;
3) four-cusped forms on M
1
;
4) fix-cusped forms on M
1
;
5) four-cusped forms on M
2
;
6) deflecting wrinkle of the metaconid of M
1
;
7) the variant 2 med II position of the second furrow of the metaconid on M
1
8) distal crest of trigonid on M
1.
Odontological Analysis of Wielbark Culture Population
131
The above-mentioned traits were selected from the eighteen ones analysed by
(Rewekant and Segeda, 2001) taking into account following criteria:
1) the traits should not reveal inter-correlations as for the frequency of
occurrence;
2) they should reveal high inter-group variability;
3) their degree or variant of formation can not change with an individual’s age,
4) it should be easy to find comparative data for different populations.
The frequency of eight odontological traits in the population from
Kowalewko was compared with data for 13 groups composed of: 2 populations
identified by the archaeologists with Wielbark Culture (Gródek and
Masłomęcz), 7 groups of Czerniachów Culture and also 4 Balts groups dated to
the first century A.D., that represent different ethnic complex in comparison
with the population under study.
RESULTS
Teeth of the population from Kowalewko are characterised by low frequency
of distortion I
2
– 2.9%, low and medium frequency of diastema I
1
– 9.1%, low
frequency of shovelling of I
1
– 3.8% and medium frequency of shovelling of I
2
– 15.2%. The occurrence of high reduction of upper second incisors was not
recorded (variants 2 and 3). The frequency of Carabelli’s cusp on M
1
was very
high – 61.9% (Table 1).

The occurrence of four-cusped forms on M
1
(y4, +4, x4) was recorded on a
medium level – 9.4%, as well as the six-cusped forms on M
1
(y6, +6, x6)
– 6.3%.
The population under study is characterised by a medium degree of reduction
of the
hypokonus
on M
2
– 24.3% and somewhat higher reduction of M
2
(four-
cusped forms) – 79.3%. The frequency of the
distal crest of the
trigonid on M
1
(6.7%) is moderately higher that the average value for European populations and
the frequency of deflecting wrinkle of the metaconid of M
1
approximates it
– 2.8%. The occurrence of Tuberculum accessorium mediale internum on M
1
(1.5%) is lower than the average in Europe.
The comparative analysis
Table 2 presents data concerning the frequency of the occurrence of 8
odontological traits in 6 populations of Czerniachów Culture, 3 of Wielbark
Culture and 4 of Balts groups.
The frequency of trait in percents was converted into the frequency expressed
in radians. A modified set of initial data was used in order to assess the degree of
differentiation by means of the principal component analysis. This method
converts original traits (in radians) into new traits (meta-traits) that are called the
principal components. Particular principal components use the variability of the
original traits to a different degree. Usually two or three of them describe from
70% to 80% of the variability of traits. Therefore, the principal component
analysis reduces the multidimensional set of variety to two or three-dimensional
level loosing only an
inconsiderable percent of information.

We also calculated the correlation coefficients between principal components
and the original traits allowing us to assess which original traits primarily
determined the arrangement of the investigated populations in relation to
particular principal components.
Figure 2 presents the differentiation of the comparative populations (3 of
Wielbark Culture, 7 of Czerniachów Culture and 4 of Balts groups) in relation to
two principal components. The first one (over 37% of overall variability) uses
the variability of as many as 4 original traits (shovelling of I
1
, Carabelli’s cusp
on M
1
, four-cusped forms on M
2
, fix-cusped forms on M
1
) and separates the
Balts populations from Wielbark and Czerniachów groups. The second one
(27% of overall variability) describes the differentiation of populations
considering the frequency of deflecting wrinkle of the metaconid of M
1
that is
very similar in form and almost equally differentiated in the investigated ethnic
and cultural complexes.

Figure 2. Differentiation of Wielbark Culture populations (squares), Czerniachów Culture
(circles) and the Balts populations (crosses) in relations to two principals components
The comparative analysis reveals that the populations of Wielbark Culture
and Czerniachów Culture cannot be differentiated
as far as the frequency of
odontological traits is concerned. They also exhibit similar intra-group
variability. The Balts are characterised by a different frequency in 4 out of 8
traits in comparison with the above-mentioned series and they create a separate
group.
Odontological Analysis of Wielbark Culture Population

CONCLUSIONS
1. Morphological traits of teeth (odontological traits) differentiated markedly
the comparative populations that belongs to different ethnic and cultural
complexes. Therefore
,
they are a good method
for studying the biological
differentiation of skeletal populations.
2. As regards the frequency of occurrence of odontological traits the
populations identified with Wielbark and Czerniachów Cultures are very
similar and they can not be included in different ethnic and cultural
complexes.
