I've found no real physical descriptions of Turks from medieval European, Byzantine and Arab sources except Cumans and Karluks. One being blonde and other tibetian-looking. Cumans were from Eastern Europe and Karluks from South-Central Asia. In between there were many Turkic peoples (Sabirs, Pechenegs, Oghuzes, Bulgars) but I've found absolutely no physical description of these people over internet. Since Cumans and Karluks were described so differently, I wonder the others. Are there any chronicles describing Turks or are there any excavations of Turkic burials so we can look up their genetic makeup?
