Bulanovo cemetery
Age: Middle Bronze Age
Genetic Group: Sintashta
Period: 4400–3800 BP

Remains of a man who belonged to the Sintashta culture, his skull was brachycephalic (175mm length) and the mandible even wider (120mm bigonial).



Stepnoe Cemetery Kurgan
Age: Middle Bronze Age
Genetic Group: Sintashta
Period: 4400–3800 BP

Remains of a man who belonged to the Sintashta culture, his skull was very dolichocephalic (203mm length) and the mandible wide (116mm bigonial).


Bolshekaragansky, Kurgan 11, Grave 7

Period: 4400–3800 BP

Remains of a man who belonged to the Sintashta culture, his cranial measurements (length - 187mm, width - 140mm, basion bregma height - 139mm) largely fell within the modern European average, with the exception of his bizygomatic width (141mm), which largely exceeded the average.

This man looks like mix of all 3, IMO.

Looks nothing like them

Finally, a reconstruction not PC altered. Let's hope the artist who dared be honest doesn't get fired.

Reconstructions look weird and out of place. Sintasha should look more half asian no?

[Nurzat]

these looks if not absent are only exceptional in Western Europe, they are exceptional in Eastern Europe as well, but I feel you rather have chances to find them in countryside Balto-Slavic populations than in Germanic/Celtic populations

[Veslan]

Good reconstructions.

Anyway:
1. Predominantly Iranian Nordoid
2. Predominantly Corded
3. Nordic/North Pontid with Volgid influence on nose and cheek bones.

Very cool reconstruction! Looks accurate.

1. Alpine
2. Keltic-Nordoid CM
3. Med CM


I would be interested on what people classify the third man as.

Sintashta is basically similar to Corded Ware in Czech Republic and Poland. The Asiatic mix develops in LBA/IA profiles like TKM IA (proto Iranian) is half Asian (45% BMAC) while proto Indo-Aryan Iron Age gained around 40% (WSHG+ BMAC) in Central Asia over MLBA. This ratio still is prevalent among Jat/Rors and Brahmins.

I thought these are common in Europe? Do you think these are looking rarer?
