Abstract

The article discusses the use of paleogenetic methods when conducting a comprehensive bioarchaeological study of the population of the Andronovo culture of Altai. Characterization of funerary sites and assessment of the reliability of the sample for conducting paleogenetic studies are given. The results of the analysis of the structure of ancient DNA samples from a wide range of biological remains obtained by various scientific teams are presented. It is noted that the few Andronovo materials in the south of Western Siberia are included in the samples studied in the framework of large-scale studies of the gene pool of the ancient population of Eurasia. It is concluded that the use of paleogenetic analysis in conducting a comprehensive bioarchaeological study allows us to obtain fundamentally new data. It has been preliminary established that for the Barnaul Ob region, a comparative analysis of the structure of the mtDNA gene pool of carriers of the Andronovo culture indicates that the intensive involvement of the aboriginal female population in genetic contacts with migrants was weakly expressed, that is the Andronovo population of Altai represents migrants in unchanged composition. In the mtDNA gene pool of these groups, West Eurasian haplogroups are sharply dominant, with a significant contribution from haplogroup T (about 20% of the studied series). The most promising areas for further research are discussed.
