The publication continues the presentation of the Sargat culture materials and deals with field and desk-top investigation of two male burials found under barrow 6 in Gaevsky 1 cemetery (Trans-Urals, Tobol river basin). The analyzed assemblages are exceptional due to preservation (intact tombs), which provides each stage of the undertaken study with various information and bio-archaeological reconstructions. The paper is based on already published materials, which within interdisciplinary approach yields new data and interpretations, when already known materials are being considered from the general to the case study and from the distinct to the specific. Results of ancient DNA of the males under study are of particular interest. Their close kinship was not attested, while mtDNA and Y-chromosome were analyzed within Sargat gene pool. Thus, life-style, social environment and cultural tradition can be seen as individual scope, similar to personality.

Keywords: Western Siberia, early Iron Age, Sargat culture, elite burial, aDNA, bio-archaeological reconstruction
