@ozbegtin_balasi @nrken19 Although groups were mixed, this skull is called Kipchak for two reasons. First, the burial style and weapons belong to the local Kipchak culture. Second, the 'South Siberian' skull type represents the local people of the region, not the Mongol elite who arrived later.

@antromorphlab @nrken19 How did they know he Kipchak and not Mongol, anyway during this era Kipchaks and Mongols were already mixed

@ozbegtin_balasi @nrken19 Yes, it is. This skull is labeled as a Kipchak skull so it most likely belongs to a Kipchak man who lived in the Golden Horde era.

@antromorphlab @nrken19 I should say, it's more accurate to call it (Golde Horde) reconstruction, isn't this from Orenburg? the 13th-14th dated skull?
