[Comparative studies of human finger and nail imprints on pottery fragments of the late copper period].
The author has established on the basis of comparative investigations--called "archeodactyloscopy"--that in the past 4,500 years, which corresponds to 214 generations, the appearance of the fingertips (dactylogram) did not change. The making of pottery found at Salgotarjan-Pecsko's excavation was supposedly the task of men, while the nail-impressions on two torsos could have been left by women or by children.
