Dietary habits of the medieval Nogais in the Lower Don region
Introduction. The paper explores the dietary system of a Nogai group from kurgan 3 at the Sukhaya Termista II in the Rostov region, typical nomads who lived in the Sal river basin at the end of the 16th–early 17th centuries. The analysis of the δ13С and δ15N values of bone collagen helped gain a better understanding of possible components of their dietary system and provided the basis for comparing the results obtained and historical and ethnogra…
Artificial cranial deformation
There are various classifications of artificial cranial deformations. Among Russian anthropologists, the scheme of E.V. Zhirov (1940) is popular. As reference carriers of parietal deformation, he described samples from the Okunevo burials in Southern Siberia (Bronze Age), Zoroastrian and Nestorian medieval burials in Central Asia. However, later conclusions by E.V. Zhirov and other researchers concerning the deformation type in these series are c…
Variants of fixing a deformed area on 3D models of neurocranium
The morphology of skulls with occipito-parietal deformation is mainly influenced by two factors: the artificial deformation itself and the natural morphology of the skull. Basing on morphometric methods our study is focused on identifying possible interaction between these two factors. We suggested that reduction the analyzed area to the deformed region of the skull may provide a more precise understanding of the variation in occipitoparietal fla…
Cranial deformation in the northwestern Caspian Sea region in the Bronze Age
This research examined the occipitoparietal deformations of the Early Bronze Age skulls from the southern European part of Russia and the similarities between those deformations and head modifications among the population of the Okunev culture in Southern Siberia. The study objects used were 3D models of neurocrania from 41 individuals retrieved from Early Bronze Age graves in the northwestern Caspian Sea region and 64 individuals from the Okunev…
Analysis of 3D-Models of Artificially Deformed Crania, Using Geometric Morphometry
Изучение искусственно деформированных черепов осложнено неудобством анализа криволинейных форм без надежных ориентиров для измерения. Методы геометрической морфометрии позволяют решить эту проблему. В статье анализируются 3D-модели деформированных черепов из погребений разных хронологических горизонтов окуневской археологической культуры (XXVI-XVIII вв. до н.э., Южная Сибирь): 26 мужских и 19 женских из памятников Верхний Аскиз I, Уйбат III, V, У…
Craniological data on migrations from the West to Eastern Europe in the Post-Catacomb period
In the article the craniology of the post-Catacomb and Middle Volga Abashevo populations in the context of cranial metric characteristics of Neolithic and Bronze Age groups of continental Europe is discussed. The data on 2100 male skulls belonging to 95 samples was analyzed by means of Mahalanobis distances (D2) matrix. The results reveal high level of similarity between the post-Catacomb series and Catacomb East-Manych, Eastern Caucasus (Gintchi…
Analysis of 3D-Models of Artificially Deformed Crania, Using Geometric Morphometry
The study of artificially deformed crania is complicated by difficulties in analyzing curvilinear shapes without reliable reference points for measurement. Methods of geometric morphometrics (GM) help to solve this problem. We generated 3D-models of deformed crania (26 male and 19 female) from burials of different chronological periods of the Okunev archaeological culture (Verkhniy Askiz I, Uybat III and V, Uybat-Charkov, Itkol I and II), Souther…
The Ratio of Indigenous to Immigrant Populations in the Western Steppe During the Bronze Age (Based on Cranial Data)
В статье приведены результаты анализа краниометрических данных ок. 730 мужских черепов из погребений носителей степных и лесостепных культур (преимущественно ямной, катакомбной, полтавкинской, бабинской, лолинской и срубной) эпохи бронзы Восточной Европы. Межгрупповое сравнение проводится в основном с помощью вычисления квадратов расстояний Махаланобиса и многомерного неметрического шкалирования. Проведен анализ соотношения местных и пришлых попу…
The Ratio of Indigenous to Immigrant Populations in the Western Steppe During the Bronze Age (Based on Cranial Data)
Measurements of ~730 male crania from cemeteries associated with Bronze Age cultures of the steppe and foreststeppe zone of Eastern Europe (Yamnaya, Catacomb, Poltavka, Babino, Lola, and Timber-Grave) were subjected to multivariate analyses. D2 distances between sample centroids were calculated, and non-metric multidimensional scaling was carried out. The results are used to evaluate the proportion of indigenous and immigrant groups during four s…
On the Artificial Deformation of Skulls of Steppe Cultures of the Bronze Age
Artificial cranial deformation is known among the steppe Bronze Age population. This tradition again pervaded in the steppes of Eastern Europe burials in the first centuries AD after thousands of years. The authors investigate the sagittal contours of deformed skulls using geometric morphometric methods. The skulls from sites located in the Northwest Caspian dated by the Early and Middle Bronze Age have been analysed. In addition, the authors inv…
The Early Iron Age Populations of the Minusinsk Hollow
By means of multivariate statistics, we analyzed male craniological series of the Early Iron Age from Western and Southern Siberia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The intra-group analysis of the series from the Minusinsk Hollow reveals specificity of individuals from the tombs of the Tesinsk culture, in comparison with other groups. At the same time, the population which left Tesinsk burials is obviously related to the Tagar culture. The analys…
On the Biological Distinctness of the Pit-grave (Yamnaya) People in the Northwestern Caspian
The cranial series from the Pit-Grave (Yamnaya) burials of the northwestern Caspian is very different from other series associated with this culture. The population history of Eastern Europe in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age is reconstructed based on the multivariate analysis of Mesolithic, Chalcolithic, and Bronze Age groups. Most local Pit-Grave populations and those of the Khvalynsk and Sredni Stog cultures are shown to have descended from…
The Maikop Crania Revisited
Measurements of crania of people associated with the Early Bronze Age Maikop culture of the Northern Caucasus are analyzed. Data on Maikop males, new and previously published, were compared with those concerning chronologically and geographically related people using the canonical variate analysis. The Maikop series turned out to be isolated and no close parallels to it were found among the Bronze Age groups, either from the steppe and forest-ste…
