ANTHROPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF SKELETAL REMAINS FROM EXCAVATION OF THE DUBROVSKY BURIAL GROUND
This paper presents an anthropological study of the skeletal remains from the Dubrovsky burial ground -- an archaeological site located in Southern Udmurtia dating back to the Migration Period. The article presents the main results of morphometric traits analysis and the facial reconstruction from male skulls from burial 128. The group of well- preserved skulls has a low variability of craniometric traits and mainly belongs to burials located in the same area of the cemetery. These observations suggest that the sample is not representative of the population that used the burial site. It was probably a group of individuals who were close relatives. At the same time, the number and the demographic profile of the buried individuals indicate that the cemetery was used simultaneously by some families including several dozen persons. Craniometric and osteometric traits bring the sample closer to some Mazuni^ series and different groups of steppe and forest-steppe zones of Eastern Europe. In general, the morphological characteristic of the sample was not widespread among the inhabitants of the Middle Kama region in the Iron Age and did not have a significant influence on the anthropological formation of the modern population of the Volga-Kama region. The facial reconstruction of a young warrior from burial 128 gives an idea of one of the components that determined the anthropological variability of the Mazunino culture's population.
Keywords: physical anthropology, Kama region, craniometry, osteometry, facial reconstruction, Iron Age.
