У статті подається краніологічний матеріал з
 розкопок могильника черняхівської культури біля
 с. Попівка на Поділлі та аналізується склад населення, яке було поховане на цьому могильнику. The archaeological research of the Chernyakhiv
 Culture’s cemetery near village Popivka (Lipovetsky
 district, Vinnytsia region) was carried in 2017. Authors
 of excavation were O. V. Petrauskas and M. O. Avramenko.
 22 inhumations were examined.
 Anthropological material was studied according to
 the different programs in the Laboratory of the Institute
 of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences
 of Ukraine.
 A small series of skulls can be attributed as belonging
 to the European race. Female skulls of this group
 are larger and more massive than male skulls. This
 situation can occur when men and women in a group
 have origins in different populations. Another explanations
 may be that more massive men from this population
 took part in military campaigns and were buried
 in foreign lands.
 The group of female skulls is more representative.
 It allows to craniologist to get more information. Female
 series is homogeneous. It belongs to North Caucasians.
 It characterizes by a long, dolichocranial skull,
 medium-wide (with tendencies to broad) face. Face is
 sharp profile at a horizontal area. Nose is narrow and
 sharp. Women may have been genetically related or
 descended from populations for which dolichocrania is
 typical.
 Anthropological parallels of the Popivka cemetery’s
 women skulls were found in the forest-steppe zone
 cemeteries of the right bank of Dnieper river (Maslove,
 Chernykhiv, Beluka Bugaivka). The most similarity
 are between women from Popivka and Maslove. Popivka
 series clearly indicates north-western direction
 of anthropological links. This direction is confirmed by
 statistic analysis. Women from Popivka have the most
 similarity to women from cemeteries of Baltic region
 2—5 cent. and in less degree to the Prszeworsk Culture
 of Poland.
