Bioarchaeology of Childhood in the Yamnaya Culture, Based on Kurgan 1 at Boldyrevo-4, the Southern Urals
Archaeological and anthropological data concerning two children’s burials representing the early horizon at Boldyrevo-4 kurgan 1, Orenburg Region, excavated in 2019–2020, are presented. Early mounds were covered by a huge kurgan above another, later burial of adults. The entire complex was built by the Yamnaya people at the turn of the early and middle stages of this culture, about 3300–3100 cal BC. Remains of three children, aged about 6, from t…
Robusticity of Hand Phalanges
Cross-sectional geometry of middle phalanges of hand digits 2–4 in fi ve European and Asian Neanderthals (La Ferrassie 1, Kiik-Koba 1, Okladnikov 2 and 5, and Chagyrskaya 16-3-12) and fi ve Cro-Magnons (Kostenki 14, Telmanovskaya TII 175 and TII 173, Sungir 1, and Abri Pataud 26227) was estimated by means of microtomography. Both Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons reveal a wide range of individual variability in the inner robusticity indices. Both the …
New Findings Relating to the Maikop-Novosvobodnaya Burial Rite1
Two burials of human remains at the Maikop-Novosvobodnaya settlement of Chekon-2 in the Taman Peninsula, northwestern Caucasus, are described. The X-ray fluorescence analysis has revealed traces of cinnabar on the inside of the vault bones of one cranium. The totality of findings suggests that the Chekon-2 burials were sacrificial, and were arranged in a special area within the settlement
The Sunghir 3 Upper Paleolithic Juvenile
The Mid Upper Paleolithic Sunghir 3 late juvenile early modern human, from the most elaborate burial in the Pleistocene, had pathologically foreshortened and anteriorly bowed femora and, based on her dental enamel hypoplasias and transverse lines, sustained severe and persistent systemic stress throughout her decade of life. Her modest femoral and tibial asymmetry and her femoral bicondylar angles indicate non-pathological patterns of posture and…
A Micro Computerized Tomography (X-Ray Microscopy) of the Hand Phalanx of the Denisova Girl
In 2010, the complete mitochondrial genome of a fossil hominin from Denisova Cave, Altai was sequenced on the basis of mtDNA extracted from the hand phalanx of a girl. Modern micro tomographic techniques mark a new stage in the morphological study of extant and fossil hominins, offering opportunities to work with fragmentary material. We have used the nondestructive method of micro computerized tomography for a comparative histological assessment…
Distal Phalanx of the Hand of Homo from Denisova Cave Stratum 12
The article describes a distal phalanx of the left (?) hand of Homo, found in Denisova Cave in 2011. In terms of length, width of apical tuft, and relative flattening, it resembles Neanderthal phalanges, differing in a somewhat greater transversal hypertrophy of the shaft. This trait may be regarded as archaic. A computed tomography-based comparison with the respective phalanx of the Sungir Upper Paleolithic male has demonstrated that their lengt…
An Archaic Human Ulna from Chagyrskaya Cave Altai
Excavations at the Chagyrskaya Cave site in Gorny Altai have revealed a Mousteroid industry along with fragmented human remains. This study focuses on a left ulna from stratum 6a. Its size, proportions, symptoms of disease, and indicators of muscular activity, point to Neanderthal affinities. The bone is large, linking the individual with certain Near Eastern Neanderthal males such as Shanidar. Symptoms of what might be diagnosed as Forestier dis…
Copper people” of the bronze age
After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth" Dan. 2: 39 The Metal Age opened up new prospects for mankind and led to the emergence of a new category of professionals – miners, founders, smiths. With relation to the Bronze Age, these may be called "copper people." The article explores new methods that can be used to identify their skeletal remains in museum collectio…
A proximal pedal phalanx of a Paleolithic hominin from denisova cave, Altai
A pedal phalanx of Homo from the Paleolithic stratum 11 at Denisova Cave, Altai, is described. A manual phalanx, from which DNA of a hominin belonging to a hitherto unknown species was extracted, had been found in the same layer. The new specimen has been identifi ed as a left proximal phalanx of the fourth or fi fth pedal digit, apparently that of an adult. The bone is rather elongated and has a very robust and broad diaphysis. While being gener…
A Fossil Human Humerus From Khvalynsk
A fossil humerus from Khoroshevsky Island, Khvalynsk, Saratov Province, previously believed to have been lost eighty years ago, was studied by osteometric, X-ray, tomographic, histological, and paleopathological methods. The results suggest that the fossil represents an adult Neanderthal, apparently male, displaying a peculiar hormonal status which fi nds no direct parallels among known human physiological conditions, either normal or pathologica…
Human Humerus From Khoroshevsky Island
Many valuable items owned by Russian academic museums have not yet received due attention. Among them is a fossil human humerus which for eighty years was believed to have been lost. The authors publish a handwritten document reporting on the discovery of a calotte and a humerus on Khoroshevsky Island, Khvalynsk, Central Russia. The geological context and accompanying faunal material suggest that the human remains date to the Late Acheulean or Ea…

Injuries on human skeletal remains from Sopka-2 and their relevance for social relationships among the Baraba steppe populations
Scalping in Eurasia
In the Middle Ages, the world scalp, schelpe, scallop, and so forth had a different meaning in some European languages (English, German, Scandinavian languages): a cup (including a skull or the shell of a shellfish). It also meant the sheath of a sword.1 Today scalping means the removal of skin with the hair from the head of a dead or living person. The term became widely used in 1657, after the colonization of the North American continent (Dieck…
