4). 6 4952- 5). (116.7!) - 21.4! - - 380 Anthropology Overall, the group is characterized very low and rather small braincase, and meso-brachycrany. The frontal bone is wide. The face is rather low, very wide, flattened on both levels, mesognathic, with large Flower index, and tendency to alveolar prognathism. The orblts and the pyriform aperture are low. Nasal bones protrusion angle is rather low, and the nasal bridge is flat. Neither the morphologic characteristics of separate crania nor the standard deviations indicate heterogeneity of the sample 4). The only skull that does not follow the general pattern of smallness and gracility is the one from burial No. 6 4952-5). In addition to its extreme massiveness, it is characterized large cranial vault height, very broad and extremely high face, and very high pyriform aperture. Especially specific are nasal bones. They are very low and narrow, which results in very high simotic index (116.7!) and, in turn, high value of standard deviation for this trait (21.4!). The specificity of series described V.P. Yakimov distinguishing it from other Eurasian groups, both ancient and modern, became even more salient in case when new investigated crania were added to the pooled sample. They include an unusual comblnation of Mongoloid traits with some morphological traits which are not characteristics to any of the known Asian groups. The former includes horizontal facial flatness, broad mesognathic face, moderate projection of nasal bones and flat nasal bridge. These traits contrast with low face, low orblts, and broad forehead.
