Telegin D. Ya., Potekhina I.D. Neolithic cemeteries and populations in the Dnieper Basin

BAR Publishing, 1987. — 234 p.The cemeteries of the Dnieper basin are among the largest Neolithic cemeteries in Europe. This work offers a full survey and analysis of both the cemeteries and the physical anthropology of those buried. The authors first treat the history of research and then examine in detail some of the best preserved and most important of the cemeteries, the grave goods found within them, the problems of their relative chronology, absolute date, cultural affiliation and the physical composition of their population. Finally, both authors evaluate the role of the culture and the physical type (Proto-Europoid Cro-Magnon) in the broadest perspective of Eurasian prehistory.
