Comparative dental morphology of Odino people: the first results: to the question of southern migrations

The main goal of the research was the detailed analysis of non-metric dental traits in two samples of Odino archaeological culture (III thousand years BC). Almost full set of southern traits was found in the sample from Tartas-1 burial ground. Statistically this group is close to the Turkmenian series from Kara-tepe and Geoksiur sites. This is the real evidence of southern influence on the biological features of Odino People. Some traits were observed also in Preobrazhenka-6 series where they have appeared through the contacts with the other Odino groups. The research will be continued based on the materials from Sopka-2/4a, the greatest Odino burial ground. The data obtained allow the suggestion that the migration reconstructed was not massive. Most likely it was the infiltration of individuals.
