Abstract

The article discusses craniological materials from the crypt burial site Tsoi-Pede dating back to the late Middle Ages (XIII – XVIII centuries). The population that used the tombs of Tsoi-Pede apparently originated from anthropologically different groups who had been living together for quite a long time, and are probably the ancestors of modern Vainakh peoples.
