Исследование включает краниологический, остеологический, одонтологический и палеопатологический анализ. Обнаружены признаки долихокранности, характерные для населения южного кавказского региона. Зарегистрированы дискретно-варьирующиеся признаки, указывающие на возможные родственные связи между индивидами. Зубная система относится к южному грацильному типу и отличается выраженной редукцией гипоконуса. Отмечены следы интенсивной физической нагрузки: затылочные структуры, развитый мышечный рельеф, энтезопатии и «комплекс всадника». У детей зафиксированы деформации черепа (tump-line и cradledeformations), отражающие особенности ухода и трудовой деятельности. Патологические изменения включают cribraorbitalia, мастоидит, остеомиелит и лобный гиперостоз. Полученные данные указывают на оседлый образ жизни, высокую степень физической активности и влияние стрессовых факторов окружающей среды. Работа расширяет представления об адаптационных стратегиях населения Армении позднего бронзового века.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article deals with a bioanthropological analysis of seven individuals from the Kuchak burial ground (the Aragatsotn Region, Armenia), dated back to the 13th – 12th centuries. The study includes craniological, osteological, odontological, and paleopathological examinations. Dolichocrany was identified, typical of the populations in the South Caucasus. Discrete cranial traits suggest possible familial relationships among the individuals. The dental system is classified as southern gracile with the marked hypoconus reduction. Evidence of the intense physical activity includes traces of intense physical exertion are noted: occipital structures, developed muscular relief, enthesopathies and the «rider’s complex». Cranial deformations in children reflect traditional infant care practices and possible early labor. The identified pathological conditions include cribra orbitalia, mastoiditis, osteomyelitis, and frontal hyperostosis. Data obtained indicate a sedentary lifestyle, high levels of physical activity and exposure to environmental stress factors. The work widens understanding of the population adaptation strategies in Late Bronze Age Armenia.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Армения</kwd><kwd>Кучак</kwd><kwd>эпоха поздней бронзы и раннего железного века</kwd><kwd>краниология</kwd><kwd>краниоскопия</kwd><kwd>одонтология</kwd><kwd>остеология</kwd><kwd>палеопатология</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Armenia</kwd><kwd>Kuchak</kwd><kwd>Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age</kwd><kwd>craniology</kwd><kwd>cranioscopy</kwd><kwd>odontology</kwd><kwd>osteology</kwd><kwd>paleopathology</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Автор выражает искреннюю признательность Татьяне Иннокентьевне Хорхординой за ценные рекомендации, внимательное прочтение рукописи и поддержку, оказанную в процессе подготовки статьи к публикации.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The author expresses sincere gratitude to Tatyana Innokentyevna Khorkhordina for her valuable recommendations, careful reading of the manuscript, and support during the preparation of this article for publication.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Деведжян 1981 – Деведжян С.Г.
