У статті на матеріалах краніології розглядається питання про формування пізньоскіфських
 популяцій та їх місце в колі хронологічно близьких груп Східної Європи. In this paper, craniological materials from late
 Scythian monuments were considered in a wide range
 of Scythian, Sarmatian groups and series from ancient
 necropolises. Statistical analysis was performed using
 several methods of multidimensional statistics. According
 to the results of the analysis it can be said that the
 population from the Lower Dnieper settlements and
 the Late Scythian cemeteries of Crimea is the common
 anthropological massif which is biologically connected
 with people from the ancient environment and people
 from certain Scythian populations.
 Due to its mixed population, Mykolayivka-Kozatsky,
 Zolota Balka, Scythian Neapolis and Belyaus occupy
 an intermediate position between groups from
 Greek polises and individual Scythian series. From the
 Scythian series to the late Scythians morphologically
 and statistically the closest people from the cemetery
 of Ak-Tash and Mykolayivka on the Dniester who
 were in contact with the ancient world. Late Scythian
 groups differ from the main Scythian population in a
 number of ways. They have a smaller skull in length
 and height, below the face and nose, but higher orbits,
 as well as a sharper horizontal profile of the face. The
 direction of the differences shows that they should not
 be associated with epoch-making variability. The set
 of features in the direction of which the late Scythian
 population differs from the Scythians, is characteristic
 of the population of ancient cities. People from these
 cities were one of the two main components among the
 late Scythian population. The Sarmatians did not play
 a significant role in shaping the composition of the late
 Scythian populations, but their presence among the
 population is fixed.
 Part of the descendants of the Late Scythian population
 took part in the formation of the anthropological
 composition of the bearers of Chernyakhiv culture.
 This is recorded in materials from Chernyakhiv cemeteries
 on the Black Sea coast. Some groups of people
 from the late Scythian populations were buried in the
 Chernyakhiv cemetery in the Middle Dnieper.
