Дифференциация антропологического типа сарматского населения восточноевропейских степей
Differentiation of the Anthropological Type of the Sarmatian Population in the Eastern European Steppes

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of the anthropological differentiation of early nomads in Eastern Europe. The author uses statistical methods, canonical vectors and craniological series with a representative number were used to differentiate the Sarmatian anthropological type in Eastern European steppes. The results of comparative analysis of the craniological material of the early nomads in 4th century BC — 4th century AD showed that the anthropological appearance of the late group (the second half of 2nd century — 4th century AD) is completely different from the appearance of the early (4th—1st centuries BC) and the middle (1st — first half of 2nd century AD) groups. These changes are related to the inflow of the long-headed population, which came in here first in small groups in the 2nd—1st centuries BC and started blurring the appearance of the local population in the 4th—3rd BC, while their massive migration had fully assimilated the early Sarmatian substratum by the second half of the 2nd—4th centuries AD.
