Despite the evidence
of military activity in the society (fortifi ed settlements, chariots, weapons), a small number of injuries suggests
that Sintashta and Potapovka populations were involved in confl icts only occasionally. <...> It should be
emphasized that despite the apparent cultural homogeneity of the cemeteries, the buried people were not
necessarily related to each other. <...> The central and elite graves often contain individuals of a hypermorphic
European type, perhaps of steppe origin. <...> We therefore conclude that one must concentrate on elite burials
to identify the founders of the Sintashta and Potapovka traditions in this archaeologically homogenous and,
at the same time, biologically heterogeneous group. <...> Key words: Bronze Age, Southern Urals, Sintashta-Arkaim, Potapovka, Indo-Iranian origins

In a Chuvashian sample (803 males and 738 females) we evaluated the mean values of 2D:4D ratio, the
contributions of phalanges and metacarpals to the 2D:4D ratio; the symmetry between right and left 2D:4D
ratios. <...> Age, sex, anthropometric data and radiographs of both hands were collected. <...> Each hand was visually
classifi ed with the x-ray method as either Type 1 (index fi nger longer than ring fi nger); Type 2 (equal); or Type
3 (shorter than the ring fi nger). <...> The following measurements were obtained from the index and ring fi ngers:
(1) midpoint of base of the proximal phalanx to midpoint of tip of the distal phalanx; and (2) midpoint of the
base to midpoint of tip of the metacarpal. <...> Visual classifi cation was signifi cantly associated with the measured
2D:4D length ratio. <...> Women had a higher prevalence of Type 1 and Type 2, but lower prevalence of Type 3
ratio in both hands. <...> Men had lower measured 2D:4D phalangeal, metacarpal and ray (combined) ratios than
women. <...> No sex dimorphism was found between the right and left hands. <...> Correlations between age and visual classifi cation were signifi cant <...>
