The designation Sub-Nordic, or more precisely Subnordique, was used by Montandon to designate a central European Nordid altered by Alpinid admixture. The name has also been applied to an eastern European blended type (Deniker).

Origins:

Iron Age Nordid and Alpinid intermediate (either one predominant); in northern regions (the Be-Ne-Lux in particular) it often subsumes an unreduced Upper Palaeolithic Borreby strain.

Description:

The type is variable, and less stabilized than adjacent blends, e.g. Nordid. Consequently, the Sub-Nordid type or gradient occupies various intermediate anthropometric and morphological positions between Nordid and Alpinid.

(North Brabant,     (West Flanders, (Bern, Switzerland)  (northern France;
Netherlands)             Belgium)                                  "Galatian type")

    (Austria)

Sub-Nordid types are found in great concentrations in Austria, Switzerland, France and adjacent territories - essentially anywhere where Nordid and Alpinid elements are both salient in the population.
