Molecular archaeology / ancient DNA analysis has been proven to be a powerful tool for the
identification of human remains as well as for kinship analysis (family trees). The stable
nature of deoxyribonucleic acid compared to other biomolecules allows to asses historical
information on a molecular level. Here we present a study on human remains found in the 18 th
and 19 th century family crypt „von Hoheneck” (Gallspach, Upper Austria). Five out of ten
individuals yielded reproducible autosomal DNA data. Additionally for two males a
(common) y-chromosomal haplotype was obtained.
The synoptic interpretation of historical, anthropological and molecular data revealed
different levels of family kinship. According to historical records 4 individuals were
individually identified. The common paternal lineage found showed geographical correlates
for Balkan, Russia, Poland and Germany.

In der keltischen Bevölkerung vom Dürrnberg wurden Schädel trepaniert. Die Spuren dieser
operativen Eingriffe sind, an den von den Archäologen geborgenen Schädeln, sichtbar. Es
wurden unterschiedlichste Trepanationstechniken angewandt, manche führten unmittelbar
