bera frontalia expressed. Glabella and processus mastoideus medium developed. Characterized by gracile features. Slightly curvooccipital. Facial skeleton well profiled. Cranium ovoid, dolicho-, aero-, hypsicranial , eurymteopic, mesen, leptoprosopic, chamaerrhinian, chamaeconch. Middle-tall stature (155,2 cm: Table IV). Proto-Europoide . Kurgan 4, Grave 1 (Inv. No. 419). Inf. II skull, hydrocephalic , hence no data were taken or measurements read. Srubnaya culture (Late Bronze Age) Hutor Shevtshenko. Kurgan 2, Grave 16 (Inv. No. 425). A well preserved male skull with damaged mandible. Mature male. Right maxillo-nasalo-prostlon part asymmetrically larger, hence right side of face slightly bent. Abrasion I-II. Linea temporalis and linea nuhae superior expressed. Glabella and processus mastoideus well developed. Facial skeleton well profiled, fossa canina deep. Skull ovoid, curvooccipital. Mandibular data also reflecting massivity. Skull dolicho-,metrio-, chamaecranial , stenometopic , lepten, leptoprosopic , mesorrhinlan, mesoconch. Proto-Europoide, with Mediterranean elements (?). Zamozhnoye. Kurgan 1, Grave 1 (Inv. No. 411). A comparatively well preserved skull, with damaged mandible. Adult female. Abrasio II. Tuberculum articulare and linea nuhae superior expressed. Obelion flatness. Skull pentagonoid, curvooccipital, dolichocranial , metriometopic, lepten, leptoprosopic, chamaerrhinian, mesoconch (dextra). Value of nasomalar angle strongly differing from the Europoide mean, but face in its entirety well profiled. Gracility also observable. Protomediterranean. As is to be seen, only 16 of the 47 skeletons of adult individuals, excavated from all three periods of the Bronze Age, are suitable for a detailed anthropological analysis. Since the material of findings represents merely one-third of the adult group known from the archeological description (K. F. SMIRNOV, I960) studied here, this fact must accordingly be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the population. Analysis of the findings As seen from the above descriptions, the material studied comprises merely one skeleton from the early phase (Yamnaya culture) of the Bronze Age, and two from its later stage (Srubnaya culture), (Table III). For their assessment, the foregoing description of the individuals is deemed sufficient owing to the scarcity of the material, and thus a detailed analysis will be given of merely the findings originating from the middle phase (Katakombnaya culture) of the Bronze Age. It should not be forgotten that even this series is rather meagre in numbers (9 males and 4 females) but, owing to its origin from the Bronze Age, it might represent a highly significant complementary material.In the morphometric anaJvsIs of the series,I have applied the methods of ALEXEYEV - DEBETS (1964), E.Huu U940; , R.MARTIN (1928), Th. MOLLISON (1938), M.G. LEVIN (i960), and WOO (1937).- For the calculation of stature, N. WOLANKSI's nomogram was used (l953 t ). The male group of the skeletal findings of the Katakombnaya culture can be
