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-
