Late Bronze Age Swords of the Lchashen-type: Typology, Technology, and Experimental Reconstruction of Use
This paper examines Lchashen-type swords from the Armenian Highland as a distinct group of long-bladed, Late Bronze Age (15th–13th centuries BCE) swords within the wider interregional military-technological networks of the Late Bronze Age world-system. The study combines typological analysis, compositional comparison, experimental reconstruction, and controlled combat experiments to investigate the morphology, manufacturing strategies, and functi…
Meat Supply of Alakul Miners at the Bronze Age Vorovskaya Yama Copper Mine (Southern Trans-Urals)
In this paper, we analyze what can be learned about the meat supply of the Alakul miners of the Late Bronze Age using archaeozoology, Sr-isotope analysis, and radiocarbon dating techniques. The study is based on a sample of domestic animal bone originating from the Vorovskaya Yama copper mine site in the southern Trans-Urals. The site functioned over a period of about two centuries starting around 1600 BCE. Cattle, caprines, and horses constitute…
Alakul textiles based on 87Sr/86Sr isotopes analysis: To the issue of imported wool fiber in a bronze age costume
The article focuses on determining the possible regions of origin of wool fiber in Bronze Age Alakul textiles from the Southern Trans-Urals (first half of the 2nd millennium BC). The main method is the analysis of 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios. The comparison was made for values of 12 textile samples from the Stepnoye VII, Alakul and Agapovka II burial grounds with those on interpolated background maps of bioavailable strontium and for other archaeobi…
The origins of saddles and riding technology in East Asia: Discoveries from the Mongolian Altai
Innovations in horse equipment during the early Middle Ages provided advantages to societies from the steppes, reshaping the social landscape of Eurasia. Comparatively little is known about the precise origin of these crucial advances, although the available evidence points to early adoption in East Asia. The authors present new archaeological discoveries from western and northern Mongolia, dating to the fourth and fifth centuries AD, including a…
Were metalworkers itinerant? Interdisciplinary analysis of a metalworker's burial at the Krivoe Ozero late Bronze Age cemetery (southern Trans-Urals, Russia)

The Indo-European Puzzle Revisited: Integrating Archaeology, Genetics, and Linguistics
This book examines the impact of ancient DNA research and scientific evidence on our understanding of the emergence of Indo-European languages in prehistory. Offering cutting-edge contributions from an international team of scholars, it considers the driving forces behind the Indo-European migrations during the 3rd and 2nd millenia BC. The volume explores the rise of the world's first pastoral nomads the Yamnaya Culture in the Russian Pontic step…
Seasonality of Sintashta Funerary Rites (Based on the Kamennyi Ambar-5 Bronze Age Cemetery)
Based on archaeological materials from the Kamennyi Ambar-5 cemetery, we test the hypothesis about the connection between the seasonality of pastoral practices and funerary rites during the Late Bronze Age (early 2nd millennium BC). We studied growth layers in the teeth of 24 cows, 19 sheep/goats, 14 horses, a dog, and ten humans from 17 graves. We combined samples from various species from the same contexts into eight assemblages. With regard to…

The Sintashta-Petrovka settlement organization during the Late Bronze Age in the steppes of the southern Urals: A case of the Kamennyi Ambar settlement
Attributes of the Bronze Age Steppe Animal Husbandry Based on the Materials of the Sintashta Culture Funerary Practices (Solntse II Cemetery)
The study of seasonal use of archaeological sites helps to understand lifestyles of prehistoric communities. One possible method of such research is the analysis of dental cementum of animals from the ancient settlements and burial complexes. The method offers some data about the seasonality of the animals’ slaughter that may help to explain pastoral strategies. This study presents the results of the analysis of dental cementum of sacrificed anim…
Understanding early horse transport in eastern Eurasia through analysis of equine dentition
Across Eurasia, horse transport transformed ancient societies. Although evidence for chariotry is well dated, the origins of horse riding are less clear. Techniques to distinguish chariotry from riding in archaeological samples rely on elements not typically recovered from many steppe contexts. Here, the authors examine horse remains of Mongolia's Deer Stone-Khirigsuur (DSK) Complex, comparing them with ancient and modern East Asian horses used f…
Chronological relationship between the fortified settlement of Kamennyi Ambar and the Kamennyi Ambar-5 cemetery in the Southern Trans-Urals: Capabilities of the Bayesian statistics
By means of the Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon dates, a comparison of chronologies of the Kamennyi Ambar settlement and the cemetery of Kamennyi Ambar-5 of the Late Bronze Age Syntashta-Petrovka period has been carried out. Both sites are situated in the valley of the Karagaily-Ayat River in Kartalinsky district of Chelyab-insk Region (Russia). Comparison of the pottery assemblages of the settlement and the cemetery demonstrates their similarit…

Early evidence for horse utilization in the Eurasian steppes and the case of the Novoil’inovskiy 2 Cemetery in Kazakhstan
The Botai horse practices represent the neolithization process in the central Eurasian steppes: Important findings from a new study on ancient horse DNA
On the Earliest Use of Plate-Formed Cheekpieces and the Emergence of Horse Riding (Based on Finds from the Novoilyinovskiy II Cemetery in Northern Kazakhstan)
This study addresses the description, use-wear analysis, and date of three plate-formed cheekpieces from kurgan 5 at Novoilyinovskiy II, Kazakhstan. They were found in the same context with two sacrificed horses (a stallion and a mare), placed on the bottom of a ritual pit in the “flying gallop” posture. The emergence of horse riding, marking a new type of mobility and warfare, has been traditionally dated to ca 900 BC. However, cheekpieces sugge…
The absolute chronology of the Late Bronze Age settlements Kammenyi Ambar and Ust'ye I in the Southern Trans-Urals and its Bayesian analysis
In this paper, we examine the series of AMS radiocarbon measurements (N = 52) obtained from the Late Bronze Age settlements of Kamennyi Ambar and Usty'e I in the Southern Trans-Urals, Russia. The exploratory data analysis applied to uncalibrated dates allows for the batches and outliers isolation. Furthermore, based on the facts of stratigraphy and application of the Bayesian statistics, we reconstruct the chronology, estimate spans of habitation…
