To the anthropological type of early-medieval population in the Baraba (materials of Preobrazhenka 6 site)

We studied the small series of the individuals, related to the Novosibirsk group of Srostki culture. These series originated from Preobrazhenka 6 the burial ground in the Baraba forest-steppe. Combination of attributes, typical of all studied individuals, confidently correlates to morphological characteristics of modern South Siberian race. Such complex, with inconspicuous variations, is specific to representatives of all local variants of Srostki culture and Kimaks of Kazakhstan. Described series has a peculiarity: the horizontal level of facial skeleton is flatted a little more, than mean value of these parameters among the representatives of population from Southern Siberia and Kazakhstan in 8th - 9th centuries. However, such values rang in many territorial groups on personal level. In the case of components, included to studied population structure, we can point at implicit presence of significant mongoloid contaminant, originated in Central Asia. The sources of other morphological complexes, which also formed the characteristics of the representatives of Kimak-Kypchak community, would have the autochthonous roots for every local territory. It could be the various representatives of local pre-Turkic population with their personal morphological specifics. In the case of series from the Preobrazhenka 6 burial ground, it is possible to suppose the participation of the groups, morphologically close to representatives of Upper Ob culture.
