У приказу аутосомалних резултата, својих,а и других Срба, евидентна је била блискост са узорцима из Szolada са лангобардског гробља из 6. вијека и то оних узорака који имају значајан удио јужњачке генетике тј. оних који су вјероватно потицали више од старијег романског становништва него од досељених Лангобарда. Szolad се налази на јужним обалама језера Балатон. У 6. вијеку, а и касније за вријеме аварско-словенског присуства на овом подручју је постојао својеврсни рефугиум романског хришћанског становништва који је оставио и своју посебну археолошку културу- Кестхељску.
У одличним студијама о Аварима археолога Фалка Даима и историчара Валтера Пола обрађени су и налази Кестхељске културе на језеру Балатон. Издвојићу неке од закључака:
Фалко Даим
"The archaeological finds show clearly that the area around Keszthely must have been one of the most important regions in the Carpathian Basin during the Lombard and Avar Period. The extraordinary concentration of jewellery from Byzantium (earrings, belt-fittings from the sixth and early seventh century) and the Adria region (dress-pins with semi-circular head, presumably second half of the seventh century), as well as fibulas from the Saxon and Frankish regions (excavation by Róbert Müller 1999) is probably due to its location at the cross-roads of important long distance roads from Aquileia via Emona, Celeia, Valcum (Keszthely-Fenékpuszta) to Aquincum and from Sirmium via Valcum to Carnuntum."
"The early phase of the Keszthely-culture is usually placed in the period between 568 and the early seventh century. These dates are based on the assumption that the Keszthelyculture is, so to speak, an archaeological branch of Avar culture, which is methodologically incorrect. László Barkóczi alone has it begin a little earlier. Does a local late Roman population stand behind the Keszthely-culture, or should we—as most archaeologists do—postulate immigrations to account for the unusually rich material? As Ilona Kovrig has already observed, there is no continuous settlement from Late Antiquity until the seventh century at the sites of the Keszthely-culture (with the exception of Fenékpuszta itself ). The remarkable heterogeneity of the archaeological material of the late sixth and early seventh century from the Keszthely region is another argument both against a purely local development as well as against the view that the early Keszthely-culture constitutes the remains of a particular population group which settled there."
"Recently it has been possible to discover a living Christian community behind the early Keszthely-culture."
"At least a couple of these fibulas are filled with beeswax, which is a popular secondary relic. As the closest parallels for the disc fibulas are found in the coastal regions of Montenegro, Albania and Calabria, it would seem that at least some of the examples from Pannonia were in fact “private reliquiaries”, amulets which pious pilgrims brought with them from their travels. We can assume that before the political turmoil following the events of the year 626, a suitable church organisation, including a direct link with Rome, must have also existed in Keszthely."
"Both in the Early Avar Period and in the eighth century, the region around Keszthely, at the western end of Lake Balaton, constitutes an special element within the Avar Empire, although for totally different reasons. In the late sixth and probably still in the early seventh century, in Keszthely there is distinct evidence of connections with the Adria region and Italy; here, on the fringes of the area of settlement, there is a well-organised Christian community linked with Catholic Italy. Even if we have no written sources concerning this, the fact that pilgrimages, perhaps even to the Holy Land, were common, is an argument for a working church-organisation in the area around Keszthely, possibly even in Pécs (Fünfkirchen). Typically Avar cemeteries are found in the region around Keszthely only from the Middle Avar Period onwards (for instance Gyenesdias). Therefore—prior to the struggle for power around the year 626— Keszthely seems to have been the end-point of the route to Italy, virtually the bridge-head of Mediterranean, Late Roman and Lombard culture in present-day western Hungary. It is quite possible that this is linked to the old pact between the Lombards and the Avars. However this may be: after 626, the situation seems to have changed fundamentally. In the Late Avar Period, the Keszthely-culture no longer has anything whatsoever to do with Italy or Byzantium. The almost “baroque” enlargement of once typically Byzantine dress accessories (basket earrings, dress pins) demonstrates, if anything, the local population’s adherence to old traditions. It is not evidence of external contacts and we have no proof of a flourishing Christian community in Keszthely in the Late Avar Period. Neither can the continuation of a burial custom which does not include placing food in the grave, limited to a very small area, be viewed as proof of a Christian community at the western end of Lake Balaton in the LateAvar Period. At the moment, in fact, it looks rather as if the reorganisation of the Avar Empire in the seventh century and the farreaching isolation of the Carpathian Basin must also have caused the activities of the Christian community to disappear almost completely."
Валтер Пол:
"The Keszthely culture, as the most obvious case, shows that a new Christian culture with late Roman and western barbarian flavour was actively encouraged in the region south-west of Lake Balaton; it was probably even reinforced by the settling of Christians from different parts in- and outside the khaganate there. Western influences, especially from Lombard Italy, continued."
