The problem of informative content of data on human skull research is one of the main problems in anthropology. The complexity of this problem is largely determined by the fact that the human skull is formed from several morphological complexes, different in phylogenetic origin, dynamics in ontogenesis, epochal, age and sex variability, adaptive reactivity and taxonomic significance. The anthropological findings on the 17th – the 19th century inhabitants of Chernihiv-Sivershchyna remain underrepresented in academic literature. This research employs cranioscopy to examine the morphology of Ukrainian skulls from the region. The study aims to elucidate the distinct anthropological characteristics of Ukrainians from Chernihiv-Sivershchyna during this period and provide data for comparison with consolidated samples from Slobozhanshchyna, Halychyna, Volhynia, Podillia, and the Middle Dnipro area. The study tests the hypothesis that a certain number of buried men and women from Chernihiv-Sivershchyna may have originated from the West of Ukraine. The research analysed anthropological materials from seven archaeological sites in the region: Hlukhiv, Chernihiv, Baturyn, Vypovziv, Rohyntsi, Oster, and Liubech. In total, 158 skulls dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries were examined. The findings support a predominantly European ancestry for the Chernihiv-Sivershchyna population, with minimal steppe influence. The study identifies both southern and western anthropological connections. These results establish a foundation for future investigations into the biological and historical relationships between this population and other groups across Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
