74 Section HUMAN DIVERSITY DERMATOGLYPHICS OF KAZAN TATARS Makeeva Anna Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Kazan Tatars are the largest group of the Volga-Ural Tatars. <...> They reside in the Republic of Tatarstan and other parts of the Volga-Ural region. <...> The report deals only with Tatars living in Tatarstan. <...> New archival and fi eld dermatoglyphics materials were used (six samples). <...> For the fi rst time in Russia, dermatoglyphic data were analyzed in the diachronic aspect. <...> Four samples were collected during the expedition of the Anuchin Research Institute and Museum of Anthropology MSU in 1937–38 headed by S.A. Shluger, V.M. Shapkin, and I.N. Elistratov. <...> The sample was divided with regard to four districts (northern, eastern, southern and western). <...> Dermatoglyphic data suggest that Kazan Tatars are a heterogeneous Eastern European population which includes southern European and hybrid Caucasoid-Mongoloid components. <...> The decrease of the Mongoloid component over the last 70 years can be related to extensive population immigration of Slavic people to the region caused by its industrial and agricultural development. <...> There is also a pronounced Southern European component in one of the modern samples (Tatars of northwestern Tatarstan). <...> Key words: Tatars, dermatoglyphics, Volga-Ural region, ethnic history Contact information: Makeeva Anna, e-mail: anigma1612@gmail.com. <...> THE ANCIENT POPULATION OF LCHASHEN AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BRONZE AGE ARMENIAN POPULATION Mkrtchyan Ruzan Yerevan State University, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia The settlement and cemetery of Lchashen are located on the southwestern shore of Lake Sevan. <...> Lchashen is one of the most signifi cant sites representing the Middle and Late Bronze Age culture of Armenia. <...> The skeletal collection at the State Historical Museum of Armenia totals over 300 cranial samples and over 100 postcranial skeletons representing people associated with the Middle and Late Bronze Age Sevan-Artsakh and Lchashen-Metsamor cultures. <...> This transformation was assessed in the cultural context and interpreted as resulting from the consolidation of the Late Bronze Age Lchashen-Metsamor culture and gracilization caused by admixture and other microevolutionary processes. <...> Sex and age data on the Lchashen sample are representative and can be used for the reconstruction of demographic patterns. <...> Series 23 ANTHROPOLOGIYA — 3/2014 19th <...>
