Anthropological materials of the bronze age from the Rublyovo VIII burial ground

The article presents the results of research of the materials from the burials of the Bronze Age at the Rublyovo VIII burial ground in southern Kulunda. The results of the study of the collection from the Andronovo burials of that site show that this group was fundamentally different from the Andronovo population of Western Siberia, Central and East Kazakhstan. The morphological features collection has the greatest similarity to the objects of the Petrovo culture of the Southern Urals, Alakul series from West Kazakhstan, the Volga-Ural region, and the Southern Urals. Much less representative materials of the Late Bronze Age do not show continuity between the population of the Andronovo period and subsequent periods. However, it is not yet possible to provide a more detailed description of the post-Andronovo group due to its the small number of burials and their unsatisfactory state of preservation.
