This study aims to compare craniometric traits of Van-Karagündüz and Mound of Van Fortress (MVF-Christian and MVF-Islamic) populations which lived during the Middle Ages, and to assesss biological relationships between these groups and their affinities with other Anatolian populations. We used 8 measurements (maximum cranial length, maximum cranial breadth, basion-bregma height, porion-bregma height, bizygomatic breadth, upper facial height, nasal height, nasal breadth) and 3 indices (cranial index, upper facial index, nasal index) on crania of 191 skeletons belonging to three populations. SPSS 19 was used for calculating biological distances and for cluster analysis, from which phenograms were derived. Results of cluster analysis separate MVF-Christian and MVF-Islamic populations even though they lived in the same place and at the same time. In addition, we recognized two distinct subgroups within the populations (MVF-Christian and Karagündüz) and (MVF-Islamic and Tepecik). Both subgroups lived in Van. These populations were similar to other contemporary eastern and western Anatolian populations such as Dilkaya, Panaztepe, Datça, Nikolaos, Truva 2. However, they were distinct from Çatalhöyük, Boğazköy, Çayönü, Hisarlık, İznik and even farther from Tilkitepe, Sardis, Alişar and Lidar. The results suggest that contemporaneous groups tend to be closer to one another than chronologically diverse ones.
