While most researchers put the early Hungarians into the vicinity of the Southern Urals in the few centuries before they entered written history, it is still open what was before, how this core formed, where they had come from. In this study we identify with genetic comparison a possible microregion along the Irtysh as a point of departure for at least some components of the early tribal core. We also review relevant archaeological research and show that some studies have identified essentially the same microregion.
