Abstract
The paper presents the publication of individual peculiarities of two male skulls and long bones of the upper and lower extremities from the burials of the Globular Amphora culture (GAC) found during scientific and rescue excavations at an illegal sandpit in Dubno Raion – Zabolottia-3, as well as the midsize assemblage of male skulls of the GAC from Volyn (Zabolottia-3 and the village of Ivannia). Methodology. The study is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity, use of general scientific (analysis and synthesis), historical (comparative and historical), anthropological and statistical methods, as well as the methods of rescue archeology research, skeleton cleaning, stratigraphic observations, and the analysis of artifacts. The skulls were measured applying a complete craniometric program using the standard method of R. Martin, according to which the numbering of measurements was indicated. Computer programs created by B. and O. Kozintsev in 1991 were used in the study. 14 craniometric traits were measured. Only men are analyzed in the paper since women need a separate detailed study. Scientific novelty. Individual peculiarities of two male skulls of the GAC are presented for the first time, and an updated general male assemblage of the GAC with craniological characteristics is created. Conclusions and prospects for future research. Of course, the discovered burial is original within the GAC of Volyn and Podillia, for which the construction of big stone tombs is traditional. In further research on a short program, it will be promising to include the GAC and the Corded Ware culture male skulls’ individual peculiarities of Ukraine, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic in the intragroup analysis, as well as to combine the GAC of Ukraine into one group and compare it with synchronous series of Western Europe.
