Though nowadays included into Lublin Voivodeship*, the area around Zamość belonged to Red Ruthenia. This area was inhabited in the 10th century by Lendians Lechitic tribe.
In pre-Slavic times the region was populated by Indo-European tribes known as the Lugii and Anarti, associated with the Przeworsk and Puchov cultures. They were followed by East Germanic tribes, the Goths and Vandals. After these vacated the territory, the West Slavs (Lendians and Vistulans) moved in (see here for more information).

Old anthropology named this type "Gorid". It's very prevailing in the area amongst men. A darker series :
Some individuals do have characteristic snub-tipped concave noses and very oblique eyes.
- Type 2 : Light complexion, leptomorphic, leptoprosopic, narrow eyes, long and narrow straight nose, high forehead, large jaw, pointy chin
~ Nordid
