ABSTRACT. The study focuses on the analysis of dental pathologies which are regarded as a proxy for the reconstruction of the paleodiet of the Bronze Age populations from the Ob-Irtysh interfluve region. The paleopathological characteristics of the series from Chernoozerye–1 site, which is archaeologically attributed to Late Krotovo (Chernoye Ozero) culture, have been compared with the data on groups of different origin and different types of economy. Chronologically, Late Krotovo culture falls in between Krotovo culture, which belongs to the local neolithic cultural tradition, and Andronovo migrants. The analysis of dental pathologies reveals a higher level of dental health of Chernoozerye–1 people, comparing both to the descendants of the local neolithic and early Bronze Age tribes and Andronovo pastoralist migrants. Our results suggest that Chernoozerye-1 people held to the economical tradition based on the exploitation of complex food resources, as opposed to the predominately meat and dairy economy of Andronovo pastoralists. We also suggest that, comparing to postneolithic groups, the diet of Chernoozerye-1 people was characterized by reduced ratio of plants, which could have resulted from the vegetation changes after the aridization of climate at the turn of the second millenium B.C.
