Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the analysis of the anthropological structure of the Chernyakhov culture population in the Danube-Dniester region. Craniological series from Chernyakhov culture cemeteries are compared to European groups (3rd c. B. C.—5th c. A. D.). Inter-group analysis shows a mixed anthropological nature of Chernyakhov population and their genetic links: Western (Masłomęcz group of Wielbark culture; La Tène Central European groups); North-Western (Baltic groups of II—V cc., Gothic series, Wielbark culture of North Poland); Southern (late Scythians, some Ancient Greek cemeteries, Thracian Groups). Mesocranious type of Western Ukrainian females will be a characteristic of East Slavs of Kyiv Rus’.
