Аннотация:Human skeletal remains from a Bronze Age cemetery at Buston VI, southern Uzbekistan, are described. The burials
date back to the Molali and Buston stages of the Sapalli culture and are relevant for reconstructing the culture of the
Northern Bactrian agriculturalists. Results of the demographic, craniometric, osteometric, and paleopathological
analysis suggest that the Buston population was intermediate between the Bronze Age populations of the steppes and
the southern agriculturalists. The southern tendency, linking Buston VI with the Neolithic groups of Southwestern
Central Asia, is much more distinct. The steppe component was likely introduced by the Andronovo tribes. In terms of
the totality of demographic patterns, skeletal constitution, and dental pathology, the group is close to that represented
by the skeletal series from Sapallitepa, Uzbekistan.
