On the problem on early medieval population origin of the south of Eastern Europe and the role of Sarmatian groups in its ethnogenesis

The hypothesis of Russian historiography on sarmatian participation in ethnogenesis of population of Medieval Eastern Europe is verified on the basis of solid craniological material. Applying methods of simple and multivariate statistics the author brings clearly out the absence of genetic roots between late sarmatian population and nomadic groups of the Early-turkish and Hasariian periods in the area of the Lower Volga, Lower Don and Crimea, but underlines the presence of an alanes component of the saltovo-majatskih complexes and alanes Caucasus groups in early-medieval period.
