New data on the craniology of the population of the Perm Kama region of the modern era

Abstract

The article publishes primary craniometric data of small samples from the territory of the Perm Kama region which date back to the Modern era. Three groups from the cemeteries of Solikamsk, Perm (Egoshikhinsky cooper smelter) and Pyskor are compared. After the morphological characterization, a canonical analysis was carried out. The research led to assumption regarding the genetic links between the Solikamsk population of the XVII – XVIII centuries and certain medieval groups in the region. The conclusions known from the literature concerning the complexity of the formation of the anthropological composition in the Perm Kama region have
been confirmed. The unique nature of the population formation issue in the city of Perm as the new industrial center of the XVIII century is becoming obvious.
