This paper represents an attempt to conduct a bioarchaeological study of the anthropological materials of the Late Sarmatian period from burials of the late 3rd - 4th c. AD in the Lower Volga Region. The examined group consisted of osteological remains of 24 individuals. The standard assessment program of skeletal pathological conditions and univariate and multivariate statistics methods were applied. The study has shown that the series from the late 3rd - 4th c. AD nomadic burials of the Lower Volga Region is generally compatible with the Sarma-tian group of the late 2nd - early 3rd c. AD and that of the late Sarmatian time. Yet, there are identifiable differ-ences in the late group, which must be related to negative factors associated with the environmental changes during that period
