The article analyzes, as well as gives the definition to archaeoanthropological reconstruction as a method of research, the results of which are used in archeology, history, anthropology, ethnography. Three main levels of arhaeo-antropological reconstruction are characterized: 1) reconstruction aimed at restoring anthropological features of materials received with the help of archeological procedures (skeleton, mummy, cremated remains); 2) reconstruction of events (whose chronological, biological, social, ethnic, cultural context individuals and remains discovered through archaeological excavation existed in); 3) identification of ethno-genetic, evolutionary, and other processes (paleoanthropological material being its part). The author identifies four stages of arhaeo-antropological reconstruction: 1) Isolation and description of paleoanthropological material; 2) Analysis of paleoanthropological material, which serves as basis for decoding; 3) Creating a reconstruction (model); 4) Historical and anthropological interpretation of the object. Each of the stages, depending on the purposes and research techniques, can be self-sufficient.
