Kurgan 2, Grave 5 (Inv. No, 417). A damaged skull with incomplete mandible. Mature male. Abrasio III. Occiput weakly arched, slightly flat; sphenoid and very short skull with relatively gracile features. Porion-bregma height large. Porehead medium wide. Upper face low and rather wide. Nose leptorrhinien, orbita chamaeconch. Glabella medium, processus mastoideus strongly, developed. Facial skeleton in its entirety rather profiled, though the nasomalar and simotic values slightly differ from the Europoide means. Proto-Europoide. Kurgan 2, Grave 7 (inv. No. 421). A relatively well preserved skull with incomplete mandible. Adult male. Traces of a strong blow on left coronale area. Abrasion II. Tuberculum articulare expressed. Curvooccipital, ovoid. Facial skeleton strongly profiled, but as a whole with gracile features. Dolichocranlal, metriometopic, chamaerrhinlan, chamaeconch. Protomediterranean. Kurgan 3, Grave 4 (inv. No. 418). A well preserved skull with mandible. Mature male. Abrasio I. Linea nuhae superior and tuberculum articulare, as well as trigonum mentale strongly developed. Glabella strongly expressed. Cranium harmoniously curving, with lambdoid and occipital flatness* Nasal ridge strongly projecting, facial part strongly profiled. Cranium ovoid, dolicho-, aero-, orthocranial, stenometopic, mesorrhinian, chamaeconch. Upper face high and medium wide. Proto-Europoide, Protomediterranean. Kurgan 4» Grave 5 (inv. No. 416). A well preserved skull with mandible. Mature male. Glabella and processus mastoideus strongly developed. Abrasio III. Linea temporalis, linea nuhae superior, tuberculum articulare and trigonum mentale expressed. Crista supramastoidea bilaterale. Occiput flat. Face strongly profiled. Cranium spheroid, brachycranial , stenometopic , euryen, euryprosopic , mesorrhynian, chamaeconch. Characterized by comparatively massive features and very high values: breadth of skull 161 mm, smallest width of forehead 105 mm, porion-bregma height 138 mm, bizygomatic breadth 154 mm, width of upper face 116 mm, maxillo-alveolar length 61 mm, width 72 mm. The above data, together with the measurements of the mandible, reflect the features of a relatively rare macromorphous individual. Character-complex mainly eastern Proto-Europoide (Andronovean? ). Kurgan 1, Grave 3 (inv. No. 413). A comparatively well preserved skull with damaged mandible. Mature female. Linea nuhae superior and tuberculum articulare expressed. Curvooccipital. Obelion-lambdoid flatness. Abrasio II-III. Glabella and processus mastoideus medium developed. Facial Bkeleton relatively strongly profiled, though the data of the nasomalar region strongly differ from the Europoide means. Cranium ovoid, mesocranial, eurymetopic, mesen, mesoprosopic , chamaerrhinien, mesoconch. Bizygomatic breadth medium (126 mm). Stature small (147,5 cm; Table IV). Proto-Europoide (Andronovean?). Kurgan 2, Grave 8 (inv. No. 414). A well preserved skull without mandible. Mature female. Linea temporalis and tuberculum articulare very developed. Glabella and processus mastoideus medium expressed. Obelion flatness, curvooccipital. Abrasion III. Facial skeleton strongly profiled. Cranium sphenoid, meso-, aero-, hypsicranial, eurymetopic, mesen, chamaerrhinian, mesoconch. Middle-tall stature (157,1 cm; Table IV). Proto-Europoide (Andronovean?). Kurgan 3, Grave 4 (Inv. No. 415). A well preserved skull with mandible. Adult female. The feminine skeleton of the paired burial (cf. No. 418). Abrasion I. Tu-
