![]() The Gandhara grave (or Swat), Cemetery H, Copper Hoard and Painted Grey Ware cultures are candidates for the Indo-Aryan migration into South Asia.Ĭurrently only two sub-cultures are considered as part of Andronovo culture: Dating and subcultures Īrchaeological cultures associated with Indo-Iranian migrations (after EIEC): The Andronovo, BMAC and Yaz cultures have often been associated with Indo-Iranian migrations. The Andronovo culture was first identified by the Russian archaeologist Sergei Teploukhov in the 1920s. Several graves were discovered, with skeletons in crouched positions, buried with richly decorated pottery. The name derives from the village of Andronovo in the Uzhursky District of Kranoyarsk Krai, Siberia, where the Russian zoologist Arkadi Tugarinov discovered its first remains in 1914. (2015) concluded from their genetic studies that the Andronovo culture and the preceding Sintashta culture should be partially derived from the Corded Ware culture, given the higher proportion of ancestry matching the earlier farmers of Europe, similar to the admixture found in the genomes of the Corded Ware population. ![]() Most researchers associate the Andronovo horizon with early Indo-Iranian languages, though it may have overlapped the early Uralic-speaking area at its northern fringe. New research shows Andronovo culture's first stage could have begun at the end of the 3rd millennium BC, with cattle grazing, as natural fodder was by no means difficult to find in the pastures close to dwellings. The slightly older Sintashta culture (2050–1900 BC), formerly included within the Andronovo culture, is now considered separately to Early Andronovo cultures. Some researchers have preferred to term it an archaeological complex or archaeological horizon. The Andronovo culture ( Russian: Андроновская культура, romanized: Andronovskaya kul'tura) is a collection of similar local Late Bronze Age cultures that flourished c. 2000–1450 BC, in eastern Central Asia, spanning from the southern Urals to the upper Yenisei River in central Siberia.
