Maksimovka Iburial ground
The Maksimovka I burial ground is located in the Samara River basin of the Middle Volga region, Russia. During the period 2017–2022, 48 burials of the Early and Late Eneolithic, Late Bronze Age, and the Middle Ages were studied. In 2023, six more burials were discovered, four of which date back to the Eneolithic period and two to the Middle Ages. The skeletons from the medieval burials No. 49 and 54 were oriented to the west and did not contain a…
Funeral Practices of the Final Bronze Age in the Southern Trans-Urals
The article examines the problem of interpreting burials from settlements of the Final Bronze Age in the Southern Trans-Ural region. The aim of the research is to identify factors that influenced burial practices during this period. Fieldwork and analytical studies were conducted at the Ogorodnaya site, and the results have been presented. Methods such as physical anthropology, radiocarbon dating, isotope analysis of strontium, nitrogen and carbo…
Mesolithic Burials of the Volga-Urals
For the Mesolithic era, experts have identified two zones of ritualism: the northern with an elongated posture of skeleton and the southern with a crouched posture. Until recently on the territory of the Volga-Urals, Mesolithic burials were almost unknown. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the complexes for their attribution to the Middle Stone Age. The paper relevance is due to the low degree of the Mesolithic burials study in …
Revisiting the Issue of Connections Among the Nomads Social Elite From the Southern Urals According to Craniology Data From the Filippovka Kurgans
The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the relations of the nomads‘ social elite from the Southern Urals buried in the cemetries of the kurgans Filippovka 1, 2. The total craniological series of these monuments consists of 22 skulls (9 male and 13 female) representing brachycranial broad-faced Caucasoids. The aim of the study is to determine the historical roots of this group including their migration patterns, as well as their contacts …
Bone Tissue Defects on Human Skulls from of the Eneolithic Burial Ground of the Yekaterinovsky Cape in the South of the Middle Volga Region. Revisiting Specifics of Cultural Traditions
Unusual defects mainly in the form of surface ellipsoid or less commonly sub-circular indentations were recorded on the skulls of mature individuals from the Eneolithic burial grounds in the forest-steppe area of the Volga region (Yekaterinovsky cape). Almost all of the defects are localized on the parietal bones. The origin of the small-sized lesions could be associated with trauma. The large defects occur due to additional surgical prophylaxis …
On the Spread of the Tradition of Artificial Deformation of the Scull on the Northern Outskirts of the Volga-Urals (the Bronze and Early Iron Ages)
The article provides a collection of archaeological sites of the Bronze Age and the end of the Early Iron Age of the Volga-Ural region, in which artificially deformed skulls were found. At present, 33 such archaeological sites have been counted, of which 5 belong to the 25th – 22th centuries BC, and 28 – to the first half of the 1st millennium AD. Сertain similarity was noted in the methods of artificially deformation reproduction among the tribe…
The Eneolithic cemetery at Khvalynsk on the Volga River
The genetically attested migrations of the third millennium BC have made the origins and nature of the Yamnaya culture a question of broad relevance across northern Eurasia. But none of the key archaeological sites most important for understanding the evolution of Yamnaya culture is published in western languages. These key sites include the fifth-millennium BC Khvalynsk cemetery in the middle Volga steppes. When the first part of the Eneolithic …

В статье представлены результаты изучения шести краниоскопических признаков на 487 черепах раннего и среднего этапов эпохи бронзы из степной и лесостепной зон Восточной Европы. Выборки сформированы в основном по культурно-территориальному принципу. Межгрупповая изменчивость изученных признаков анализировалась с помощью таблиц сопряженности, точного критерия Фишера и метода главных компонент. Зафиксировано значительное морфологическое разнообразие…
Elite Burial of the Golden Horde Era in the Samara Volga Region
The article presents some preliminary results of a comprehensive study of a unique archaeological site of the Golden Horde time — a single burial mound Svetloe Pole III, excavated in the Samara region in 2020. In the only burial, despite the destruction, extraordinary objects have been preserved: a massive (gilded) bronze belt overlay with the image of a dragon, a horn pommel depicting a bird of prey gnawing at a large bird — possibly a bustard; …
To the Issue of Anthropological Contacts Between the Populations of the Srubnaya and Alakul Cultures of the Late Bronze Age in the Southern Urals and Western Kazakhstan Steppes
Introduction. The work focuses on anthropological materials of the border between two areals: the Srubnaya and Alakul cultures of the Bronze Age. New data is based on the burial grounds of the Kozhumberdy type of the Alakul culture from Western Kazakhstan. Methods and materials. The authors compare the craniological series which are formed according to the geographical localization of the monuments and modern archaeological ideas about their cult…

The formation of human populations in South and Central Asia
Ancient human movements through Asia Ancient DNA has allowed us to begin tracing the history of human movements across the globe. Narasimhan et al. identify a complex pattern of human migrations and admixture events in South and Central Asia by performing genetic analysis of more than 500 people who lived over the past 8000 years (see the Perspective by Schaefer and Shapiro). They establish key phases in the population prehistory of Eurasia, incl…

Origins of the Physical Appearance of the Sintashta Circle of Cultures People of the Bronze Age
The authors examine the anthropological materials of the Sintashta and related cultures of the finale of the middle – the beginning of the late Bronze Age. Theoretical aspects of the problem of morphogenesis in these populations are presented in connection with archeological and genetic studies. The practical part is devoted to the analysis of new craniological sources from the burials of the Sintashta-Abashevo chronological horizon of the forest…
"Gueule cassée" (facial injuries)
The invasion of Russia by the Napoleonic Grande Armée was a complete disaster. The French army was decimated during the retreat from Russia. Thousands of victims were buried in mass graves located near several cities during the retreat. One of these mass graves was discovered in in the centre of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), presently the most occidental oblast of the Russian Federation. Some skeletons revealed evidence of violence related t…

Craniological Data on the Problem of Relationship Between Populations of the Early Bronze Age Yamnaya and Afanasyevo Cultures
This study focuses on the problem of the relationship between two distinctive Early Bronze Age cultures — Yamnaya of Eastern Europe and Afanasyevo of Southern Siberia; the issue is still very topical and appealing to a wide range of specialists in the field of history. Here we summarize the existing hypotheses on the origin of the Afanasyevo population, compare cranial material of geographically and chronologically different groups of these cultu…
Massive migration from the steppe was a source for Indo-European languages in Europe
Genome-wide patterns of selection in 230 ancient Eurasians
Population genomics of Bronze Age Eurasia
The Bronze Age of Eurasia (around 3000–1000 BC) was a period of major cultural changes. However, there is debate about whether these changes resulted from the circulation of ideas or from human migrations, potentially also facilitating the spread of languages and certain phenotypic traits. We investigated this by using new, improved methods to sequence low-coverage genomes from 101 ancient humans from across Eurasia. We show that the Bronze Age w…
