In a 2007 AAPA abstract ("A cranial nonmetric study of archaeological and modern populations from Mongolia and Korea") Erdene Myagmar mentions that present-day Mongolians cluster with previous inhabitants of their region rather than with Koreans in a craniological study. A follow-up abstract went more into detail about the Mongolian archaeological populations: Erdene: "Cranial nonmetric study of archaeological populations from different historical periods of Mongolia" http://www.physanth.org/annmeet/aapa2008/A...08abstracts.pdf
I.e., eastern Mongolia: Neolithic => Xiongnu continuity; Bronze Age and medieval population seems to have moved to the west central Mongolia: Khalkh(?) similar to Xiongnu found in western Mongolia; Bronze Age and medieval population seems to have moved to the west western Mongolia: Bronze Age => Oyiraad(?) or Kazak(?) continuity; Xiongnu descendants might have moved to the east |
