Section HUMAN DIVERSITY THE STUDY OF CRANIAL MORPHOLOGY IN CASES OF ARTIFICIAL CRANIAL DEFORMATION USING ANGULAR MORPHOMETRY Galeyev Ravil Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Artifi cial deformation of the head is one of the most widespread ancient practices of changing human appearance. <...> Angular morphometry is rooted in cranio-trigonometric studies of the early 20th century. <...> The essence of this method consists in analyzing cranial morphology through a description of its shape by the system of triangles the angle values being used in multivariate statistical analysis. <...> Numerous studies of artifi cial cranial deformation using the cranio-trigonometric approach were published in the fi rst half of the 20th century. <...> They were mainly based on the craniometric systems of H. Klaatsch and J. Imbelloni and on the notion of “cephalic constants”, such as the ‘Klaatsch central angle (Z)’. <...> We selected some 400 skulls with various types of deformation coming from various regions of northern Eurasia. <...> They were measured according to the angular morphometry program developed by S.V. Vasilyev and R.M. Galeyev. <...> This program is based on a system of 33 triangles generated by craniometric reference points. <...> The trigonometric systems of artifi cially deformed and undeformed skulls differ in various respects. <...> The heavier the deformation, the larger these differences are. <...> The braincase undergoes heavy transformation whereas general angular characteristics of the face change little if at all. <...> Visual differences of artifi cially deformed crania are more evident in the curvature of individual skull bones than in the position of craniometric points within the cranial space. <...> The angular characteristics of deformed braincases differ by types of deformation. <...> Key words: angular morphometry, artifi cial cranial deformation Contact information: Galeyev Ravil, e-mail: ravil.galeev@gmail.com. 69 MEDIEVAL POPULATION OF THE MIDDLE DANUBE: ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALISIS Goncharova Natalia1 , Radichevich Deyan2 1Department of Anthropology, Biological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 2Archaeology Department, Faculty of Phylosophy, Belgrad University, Serbia The purpose of this study was to get a better insight into the lifestyle of medieval Slavic populations by examining skeletal remains. <...> The populations of two 12th–13th-century settlements on the Middle Danube were studied. <...> One group is an urban population <...>
