[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb]That the Fayum portraits represent a mixture of Greco-Romans and Baladi is pretty much a given. Even the Euronuts have long lost the argument that they somehow represent pure-blood Egyptians. However that is an interesting hypothesis, that is the notion of a 'half-caste' class.[/qb][/QUOTE]The one thing that gives me pause is [URL=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16331657/]JoelIrish's 2006 study on AE dental remains[/URL], which suggested that Roman-period Egyptians from Hawara in the Fayum didn't differ much from earlier Egyptians. I am not sure how much credence to give it though. IIRC, this same study didn't find a lot of differences in dental morphology between ancient Upper and Lower Egyptians despite what the cranial data has shown, and I remember Swenet mentioning something about North Africans appearing dentally homogeneous despite differing from one another in other ways.
