Craniological distinctions with medieval populations from Surgut Low Ob' basin (after data from burials of Barsova Gora)
New paleoanthropological data from burials of Barsova Gora, together with known data on two other middle taiga samplings, made it possible to describe, on a population level, an anthropological type of medieval inhabitants from Surgut Low Ob basin. Their formation was constituted by anthropologically different elements. The anthropological structure was based on a complex similar in its morphological characteristics to representatives of a Uralian group of populations connected with a Ugrian development line. One could also trace here participation of paleo-populations whose anthropological type being distinguished by domination of features of modern Ob and Irtysh groups associated with a Samodian genesis line. On the whole, during the Middle Ages a physique of local population of this region approaches to East Khanty inhabiting here in modern period.
