About Epoch-Making Variability of the Population's Anthropological Signs in the Armenian Uplands
The article defines local morphological types on territory of the Armenian Uplands since the Bronze epoch up to the XX century. Consecutive comparison of the data has allowed to track a continuity line (the effect of the so-called "directed in time" changes in the skull structure is taken into account, mainly the processes of brachycephaly which are accurately fixed in the sixth period). Studying the anthropological data has shown, that the population of the Armenian Uplands has ancient local basis concerning at least the early Bronze epoch. The ethnic and cultural influences fixed by the monuments of archeology and history, judging by the anthropological material, were not so strong to change the process of the Armenian nation ethnogenesis essentially.
