Аннотация: The results of a palaeopathological investigation of human skeletal remains from the excavations of one of the largest Bactria-Margiana archaeological complex (BMAC) sites Gonur-depe (3rd–2nd mill. BC, southeast Turkmenistan) are discussed. Inhumation burials from Gonur-depe derive from a large necropolis (mainly dated to 2300–1800 BC) which was completely excavated and a sample of later burials placed in ruins of the palace- temple complex (mainly burials of the middle of the 2nd mill. BC). Preliminary results of the analysis of 920 individuals (582 subadults, 142 males, 196 females) from the latter sample are discussed here. The frequency of some dental pathologies (e.g., abscesses and AMTL) is relatively low (compared to similar data from the Gonur necropolis). This fact can be connected with some dietary change in the later Gonur population.

Trauma, with the exception of a few cases, was most likely of accidental origin. However, cranial trauma was more often present in males. The prevalence of vari- ous joint diseases that are more often observed in agricultural populations is relatively high.
