Abstract. The article examines the five types of substratum (pre-Slavonic) toponyms of the Ryazan region: with the formants -ус, -ос, -ис, -ес, -ас(-яс). Each area is represented on a special map. Linguistic data are compared with the archeological data on the basis of which the author proposes a hypothesis on the ethnic affiliation and time of origin of the mentioned types. In particular, the areas of -ус toponymy in the region from Kishnya up to Pra River and in the Pra River basin are associated with the Baltic population of the Middle Oka region of the I millennium A.D. or their Bronze Epoch ancestors who developed the corded pottery cultures. Formation of the areas of -ас(-яс) toponymy in the central, eastern and south-eastern areas of the Middle Oka region is referred to the second half of the I millennium A.D. and associated with the dialect subgroups of a single ethnic group (supposedly Mordvinians).
