Geno- geography is a completely new source of historical information enabling us to trace human migrations from the spread of genes. The introduction of computer genogeographic mapping enhanced the potentialities of archaeological studies. The methods of spline and weighted average interpolation make it possible to create quantitative models of distribution of different phenomena and compare them. Correlation of genogeographic and archaeological maps has shown that almost all cultural phenomena are reflected in the distribution of groups of genes of the local population...
