The study aims at highlighting the most relevant scenarios in the population history of medieval Eastern Europe on the base of dental markers. Compiled electronic phene-geographical maps of the two principal components loadings in 50 groups from the region bring the evidence of east markers domination and the localization of the complex in the Middle Volga region and in the Northern Pontic area. The second relevant combination concentrates in the Center of the Russian Plain and models the average dental status of the living Russians. The intensive expansion of this specific combination eastward and southward has resulted in the current population system in the region.

Keywords: Eastern Europe, Medieval Age, dental anthropology, cartographical analysis, population structure
