In general, anthropological material is a reliable historical source in the study of ethnogenesis and ethnic history of peoples. Therefore, the study of skulls of early modern and modern periods from the territory of Ukraine is an urgent task for further interpretation of ethnogenesis and migration of Ukrainians. Our aim is to put into scientific circulation new craniological data, to give a general description of the inhabitants of Chernihiv-Siverian region of the 17th – 19th cent. against the background of adjacent ethnic groups of Ukraine and Eastern Europe and to find out the place of these inhabitants in the system of craniological types of Eastern Europe and pheno-geographical anthropological zones of Ukraine. Computer programs created by B. and A. Kozintsev in 1991 were used to study 96 male skulls. Distances between separate series of the 14th – 19th cent. were determined by multidimensional canonical and cluster analysis. 14 craniometric features and one index according to R. Martin are used. In general, the male group belongs to a large Caucasian race with signs of a certain hybridization, which manifested itself in the brachycranial index of the skull. The male sample from Chernihiv-Siverian region is similar to the urban series from Kyivan Podil (17th – 18th cent.) according to morphology, canonical and cluster analysis. The author sees a prospect in the in the analysis and description of the sample structure by the method of analysis of the main components, the presentation of intragroup analysis of the series. The craniological characteristics of women in Chernihiv-Siverian region is also important.
