The Late Mesolithic juveniles of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, Russia
Juveniles remain a largely underexplored socio-biological category in Mesolithic mortuary research, despite their potential to shed light on social values and community dynamics. The burial site at Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov (YOO), Karelia, Russia, the largest known Mesolithic burial site in Northeastern Europe, provides a unique opportunity to explore the mortuary treatment of children and adolescents. This study uses osteoarchaeological methods in a…
An Early Metal Age Burial in Treugolnaya Cave, Primorye
The article outlines the findings of a multidisciplinary study of an Early Metal Age burial of a woman in Treugolnaya Cave, Primorye—the first such burial in the region. The human skeleton was accompanied by funerary goods including stone and bone artifacts and ceramics. The most noteworthy specimen among the lithics is a polished knife, very similar to those from the late 2nd to early 1st millennia BC sites in Primorye. DNA analysis showed that …

The Neolithic of the Baraba Forest-Steppe and the Jomon Population of Japan
The main objective of the study was to estimate the similarity between the Neolithic population of the Baraba forest-steppe and the population of the Japanese archipelago of the Jomon period, previously noted on the basis of the craniometric data, using dental nonmetric traits. Jomon dental samples from 14 burial grounds on Hokkaido and Kyushu, with a total of 106 individuals, and published materials from Neolithic burials of Sopka-2, Protoka, an…
Analysis of Permanent Molars Lateral Enamel and Dentin Proportions for Determination of the Taxonomic Status of Isolated Dental Remains
The article is focused on methodological problems related to determination of the taxonomic status of isolated dental remains using proportions of the lateral (non-occlusal) enamel and dentin of permanent upper and lower molars. The issue of taxonomic significance of thickness and volume of enamel and dentin remains debatable. It was suggested that their dynamics is influenced by homoplasy, when similar morphotypes can develop convergently. In th…
Differentiating Potential of “Archaic Traits” on Permanent Upper Second Molars
To reveal the extent of introgression of archaic features into the modern human’s dentition, we analyzed the distribution of nine dental non-metric features on permanent upper second molars of the pre-sapient population of Eurasia. Previously, it was argued that five of these traits, which are usually attributed to the so-called “archaic markers” (epicrista, posterior fovea, crista obliqua, trapezoid crown shape, additional odontoglyphic elements…

Some insights into the lives of builders of early Saint Petersburg
In 2014, the unexpected discovery of some mass graves shed light on the earliest days of the newly founded city of Saint Petersburg. The graves could be dated to the beginning of the 18 th century, and analyses of the 255 excavated skeletons indicate that the individuals buried there were some of the workers who were forced to the construction sites and contributed tobuilding early Saint Petersburg. In this article, we aim to examine the possible…
Paleoanthropological study of a skull from a burial at the Chemurchek sanctuary Hulagash (Bayan-Ulgii aimag, Mongolia)
Recent studies show that, in the 3rd millennium BC, the highlands in the basin of the upper reaches of the Khovd (Kobdo) River constituted a ritual zone, which was of particular importance for the population inhabiting the western foothills of the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Its cultural singularity was due to the so-called Chemurchek cultural phenomenon - a set of characteristics of West European origin, which appeared there no later than 2700-26…
Anthropological Research of the Neolithic Burial on the Monument Pomazkino-III (Middle Kolyma River)
A study of paleoanthropological material from the burial N2 of the complex Pomazkino-III located on the right bank of the Kolyma in its middle reaches was carried out. The site was attributed to the Imiyakhtakhskaya archaeological culture (С14 date is 3065 ± 65 BP). The attribution of the buried to the Mongoloid race is stated, description is given to the specific character of the complex of its craniological features. Analogies to this complex w…

The article is dedicated to reconstruction of paleodiet in three groups of the Odino archaeological culture from the burial sites of Sopka-2/4A, Tartas-1 and Preobrazhenka-6. The main goals of the article are to analyse carbohydrates and protein consumption, to determine the level of biological stress and to compare the Odinovo diet with the same features of the Neolithic — Late Bronze Age populations from the South region of Western Siberia. Chr…
Craniology and Odontology of the Early Medieval Population Alongside the Tobol River, Based on Ustyug-1 Burial Ground
The article presents the results of craniological and odontological research based on a group of Ustyug-1 burial ground. The goal of the research is to determine genesis of the Bakal population from the Tobol river region of the Great Migration time. Morphology of the group was compared with the available data on the populations of the Early Iron Age, Early and High Middle Ages of this and adjacent regions. Their biological connection was determi…

Comprehensive Study of the Early Yakut Sergelyakh Burial of the Xv - Beginning of the Xvi Centuries
The paper presents a comprehensive study of graves which relate to rare burial sites of the early stage of ethnic history of the Yakuts. The burial belongs to an equestrian warrior. It is confirmed by the findings of the horse harness and fragments of weapons, including a part of a Central Asian composite bow which is unique to the Yakuts, arrowheads and a blade of palma (Siberian pole weapon). The vertebral pathologies and morphological features…
Paleodiet, Radiocarbon Chronology, and the Possibility of Freshwater Reservoir Effect for Preobrazhenka 6 Burial Ground, Western Siberia
This article presents the results of radiocarbon dating and a chronology of the Preobrazhenka 6 site of the Odino culture (Baraba forest steppe, western Siberia). Currently available 14 C data for the necropolis do not allow accurate determination of the presence or absence of reservoir effects, and as such, further research is needed. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dating of paired samples of terrestrial faunal and fish remains from a …
The Burial at Ak-Alakha-3 Mound 1, Gorny Altai
Osteological and archaeological facts concerning burial 1 at Ak-Alakha-3 mound 1 in Gorny Altai, are presented. The barrow is famous for the mummy of a woman (burial 2). Burial 1 was situated immediately above the timber frame with the mummy, and contained the remains of a male and a juvenile. Features of the funerary rite shed light on the social status of the so-called Kara-Koba burials associated with the Pazyryk culture. Pathological symptoms…
Early Iron Age Surgical Technologies
Results of a science-based analysis of ante-mortem trepanation carried out by Scythian Age surgeons of Gorny Altai (4th–3rd centuries BC) are presented. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescent analysis using synchrotron radiation, and magnetic resonance tomography were supplemented by micro- wear experiments. All trepanations were performed by scraping and included two stages. The bone tissue around the h…
Trepanation among the Early Nomads of Gorny Altai
Three trepanned crania from 4th–3rd century BC low-ranking burials in Gorny Altai are described. The probable motives behind such operations are discussed, their efficiency is assessed, and techniques are reconstructed using optical macroscopic examination, multi-slice computed tomography, X-ray fluorescence, and mass spectrometry of bone tissue. Trepanations were apparently medical rather than ritual. Our data support the idea that the 4th–3rd c…
Dental Affinities of The Irmen People, Western Siberia
Dental features of the Late Bronze Age Irmen population of Western Siberia (14th–10th centuries BC) were studied on the basis of cranio-dental remains from 23 cemeteries in the Kuznetsk Basin, Baraba forest-steppe, the forest-steppe zone of the Altai, Tomsk and Novosibirsk areas of the Ob basin. The results suggest that the Irmen people originated in the Novosibirsk and Baraba areas from a mixture of Andronovo (Fedorovka) and autochthonous groups…
Dental Wear Patterns and Subsistence Activities in Early Nomadic Pastoralist Communities of the Central Asian Steppes
Dental wear patterns were studied in five ancient groups of Siberia and Mongolia. The results indicate considerable variation of subsistence activities among populations practicing different forms of pastoralism. In all groups, dental wear patterns in various classes of teeth appear to be more related to subsistence activities than to age at death
The Dentition of the Alakul People, With Reference to Their Origin
Results of the analysis of nonmetric dental traits in the Alakul sample from Kazakhstan and Western Siberia indicate ethnic heterogeneity. The eastern Alakul population apparently descended mainly from Asian groups. The only European group showing the same affi nities is the Catacomb group of Kalmykia, which is dentally closest to the Alakul populations. The Alakul people of Western Kazakhstan, in addition, display ties with several European popu…
The Paleodemography of Western Siberia in the Middle and Late Bronze Age
Based on the paleodemographic evaluation of human skeletal remains from Yelovsky-2, Chernoozerye-1, Zhuravlevo-4, Tanay-7, and Zarechnoye-1, those populations fall into two groups differing in their cumulative stress level, which was high during the Andronovo period, and decreased by the Late Bronze Age. This is evidenced by a lower age of death and earlier onset of mortality peaks in samples from Chernoozerye and Yelovsky. Two models of demograp…
