ISOTOPIC AND ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS DATA FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE MOBILITY OF THE BRONZE AGE STEPPE SOCIETIES

Study of the lifestyle of the most ancient of pastoralists from skeletal evidence is the important direction
in anthropology. <...> Isotopic and elemental studies allow reconstructing the landscape and climatic characteristics
of human environment. <...> The stable isotope ratio 13/12C and 15/13N of bone tissue collagen of humans and animals is used to determine
the main components of everyday diet. 87/86Sr (strontium) in biological objects refl ects the local
geological rocks and is used to identify indigenous and immigrant individuals. <...> Values of the standard deviations
for isotopic parameters for the twelve groups of buried mounds from the Northern Caucasus area were
calculated. <...> Minimum values were determined for a group of sedentary population of the Early Bronze Age
burials of Velikent (0.23). <...> Thus, the statistical analysis suggests that during the arid periods the population could
take over large areas. <...> Obviously, in the more arid pastures biological productivity was low, and pastoralism
provoked large-scale seasonal migrations. <...> So isotopic indicators show regions of considerable stability in
seasonal nomadic populations associated with the culture of the Early - Early Middle Bronze Age, as well as
the signifi cant impact of climate change on the expansion of pastureland. <...> Key words: Bronze Age, South Russia steppes, mobile population, paleodiets, stable isotopes, strontium

In demographic processes whose principal characteristics are birthrate decrease and mortality growth,
sharp shifts have been noted in the Russian Federation starting from the 1990’s. <...> The present study considers
some social-economic and ecological processes, which promoted the growth of negative indicators in the
population dynamics. <...> We compared the mortality and decline of the population in different regions of Russia
and showed that there is a correlation between alcohol mortality and decrease of population. <...> The mortality
is a real indicator of the socio-economic and demographic situation for this or that region of Russia and it
should be used by the authorities of different levels <...>
