Peter the Great Museum ofAnthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) RAS History of the study of skeletal materials The paleoanthropological collection from the Kola Oleneostrovsky Cemetery is characterized good preservation of bone materials, which is unique for the polar regions. The collection has been forming since 1928, when Schmidt's expedition conducted the first excavations at the site. In 1939 the human skeletal materials from Schmidt's excavations were given to the Institute for the Study of the Northern Peoples of the USSR (in 1933 it was included to modern Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography RAS) and registered E.V. Zhirov as Collection No. 5715. The materials from N.N. Gurina's excavations of 1947-48 too were given to the Lenin- grad Part of the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (presently RAS). The cranio-osteological collection came there in 1949 and was registered V.P. Yakimov under the number 4952.

In addition to poorly preserved child bones, he considered certain characteristics of three male and four female skeletons of which only one of the former and three of the latter were with skulls. Proceeding from the comparison of small number of characters mainly related to the braincase, conclusion was made that «... all skeletons from the cemetery belong to the same folk» 1930: 182], and that «.. .in their head form the of Oleny island were very similar to the modern Lappish population of this region» 1930: 182]. At the same time, the author emphasized that «this question about the real relation between the peoples of two very distant epochs calls for very extensive
