title: [The medical anthropological study of the bone remains from the Yekaterinburg burial].
abstract: Results of medical anthropological expert studies of bone remains of Emperor Nicholas II, his family members, and persons in their attendance are presented. Craniological (including computer photoblending), odontological, osteometric, and spectral methods were sued. Numerous photographs, Imperial Family clothes from museums, soil specimens from Tsarskoe Selo and place of burial were used. Expert studies confirmed previous conclusions on personal identification of skeletons as Nicholas II and four Imperial Family members. Additional proofs of identification of skeleton No. 6 as Great Princess Anastasia Nikolaevna are presented. No remains which could be identified as Cesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich and Great Princess Maria Nikolaevna were found. The so-called "adolescent teeth" are upper teeth of a subject aged 17-18. Rare odontoglyphic characteristics of these teeth permit referring them only to skull No. 6 (Great Princess Anastasia Nikolaevna) but not to an adolescent, specifically, to Cesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich.
