FEATURES OF THE MACROSTRUCTURE OF THE SKELETON IN PALEOPOPULATION OF THE VENGEROVO-2A NEOLITHIC BURIAL GROUND IN B THE BARABA STEPPE
The article studies the posteranial skeleton from the Neolithic burial ground Vengerovo-2A. The postcranial morphology of individuals shows originality in the background of a synchronous series of the Western Siberia: more gracility of bones, especially the thigh, as in length and overall massiveness of the diaphysis. Those buried in the Vengerovo-2A are characterized by an average (for women) and above average (for men) growth and brachymorphic proportions of the postcranial skeleton with an average width of shoulders and pelvis. The proportions of the upper and lower limbs are characterizes by a dominating distal part. Distinctive features of the post-cranial morphology of the Vengerovo-2A population were formed not on the basis of its specific origin, but under the influence of economic activity, specific character of physical activity and the load on specific part of the skeleton.
