AB Skeletons of 29 individuals were examined from the SIP tombs excavated from 2010 to 2015. The majority (58.6%) of individuals were adults and 41.4% were juveniles. Seven men (24.1%) and five women (17.2%) were included in the group of adults. There is a slight predominance of younger individuals in the group of male skeletons, while the proportion of older women is higher among female skeletons. About 75% of children died at the age of up to four years. Anthropometric data have been obtained only from five adults; two individuals had their skull dimensions measured. The skeletons were of taller stature and had Europoid, narrow, high and long heads with high foreheads, narrower faces with high orbits and small noses. Deviation and pathological skeletal changes skeletal changes allowed to draw conclusions on the population’s way of life.
