Section APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY 37 As a result of the 1986–1990 excavations, the expedition of the Institute of History, Language and Literature, Ufa Scientifi c Centre, RAS, under the guidance of А. <...> Pshenichnyuk, investigated burial complexes of the nomadic elite accompanied by unique sculptures of the gold-plated deer and other pieces of jewelry. <...> The excavations also gave craniological material consisted of fi ve skulls (including 3 male and 2 female skulls) of varying integrity. <...> Craniometric investigations along with morphological and total analyses of the male skulls from Filippovka showed a mixed origin of their anthropological type. <...> The male skulls are characterized with large size, brachycrania, well-developed macrorelief, high face, slightly weakened profi ling at the level of the orbit and small or medium projection of nasal bones above the facial plane. <...> This combination of craniological features observed in paleoanthropological materials of the 5th and 4th centuries AD from the East European steppe region has been determined as “eastern Europoid type”. <...> Two male skulls and one female skull from Filippovka formed the craniological basis for plastic facial reconstructions. <...> Typologically, the basis for the racial type of the buried men from Kurgans 5 and 12 of the Filippovka kurgan cemetery is represented by a complex of Protoeuropoid traits with a slight addition of Mongoloid peculiar features in the facial architecture. <...> Weakened profi ling of the facial skeleton at the horizontal level can be explained by preservation of the archaic features in the Protoeuropoid-type morphological complex. <...> The female skull from Kurgan 12 is characterized with a more pronounced Mongoloid appearance that is refl ected in the facial reconstruction sculpture. <...> In the process of restoring the appearance, M.M.Gerasimov’s method was employed with further modifi cations proposed by G.V. Lebedinskaya and S.A. Nikitin. <...> Key words: Nomads of the South Urals, Filippovka, craniology, plastic facial anthropological reconstruction Contact information: Nechvaloda Alexey, e-mail: striwolf@mail.ru. <...> ESTIMATION OF WATER SECTORS IN HUMAN ORGANISM BY BIOIMPEDANCE METHOD Nikitjuk Dmitry, Nikolenko Vladimir, Klochkova Svetlana First State Moscow Medical University by name of Setchenov, Moscow, Russia Diagnostic possibilities of a method of multifrequency segmentary bioimpedance analysis were studied in 125 practically health patients. <...> It is shown that in the age <...>
