Facial reconstruction of Avars
Facial reconstruction of Avars and Magyars. I've got these pictures from the Hungarian anthropology webpage. These pictures are all collected from the Hungarian museum. The Avars were originally mostly Euro-Mongoloid with an few mongoloid. They conquered Europe and assimilated it into the population. The Magyars are confederation of many tribes, one of the Magyar tribes were descent from Avars.

Ancient Avars were a militarized Turkic[2][3] equestrian group which established an empire spanning considerable areas of Central and Eastern Europe from the late 6th to the early 9th century.

Anthropological research has revealed few skeletons with Mongoloid-type features, although there was continuing cultural influence from the Eurasian nomadic steppe. The late Avar Period shows more hybridization resulting in higher frequencies of Europo-Mongolids.[19] Mongoloid and Euro-Mongoloid types which compose about one-third of the total population of the Avar graves of the eighth century. But as more Europids population becomes conquered by Avars, the percentage of Europids in Avars becomes much higher. According to Pál Lipták the early Avar anthropological material was almost exclusively Europid in the 7th century, while grave-goods indicated Middle and Central Asian parallels.[20] On the other hand there were cemeteries dated for the 8th century that contained Mongoloid elements among others. He analysed the Avar Period population of the Danube-Tisza midland region and stated that 80% of them was of Europid character. "
Initially, the Avars and their subjects lived separately, except for Slavic and Germanic women who married Avar men. Eventually, the Germanic and Slavic peoples were included in the Avaric social order and culture, itself Persian-Byzantine in fashion.[21] Scholars have identified a fused, Avar-Slavic culture, characterized by ornaments such as half-moon-shaped earrings, Byzantine-styled buckles, beads, and bracelets with horn-shaped ends.[21] Paul Fouracre notes, "[T]here appears in the seventh century a mixed Slavic-Avar material culture, interpreted as peaceful and harmonious relationships between Avar warriors and Slavic peasants. It is thought possible that at least some of the leaders of the Slavic tribes could have become part of the Avar aristocracy".[22] Apart from the assimilated Gepids, a few graves of west Germanic (Carolingian) peoples have been found in the Avar lands. They perhaps served as mercenaries.[21]
Magyars (<--- descent from Avar tribe too )
Magyars were about 1/4 Mongoloid with few 1/2 mongoloid.
Many of the tribes were Caucasoids.
