Berezhnovka–Maevka Srubnaya phase across the Volga–Don steppe
Radiocarbon syntheses and regional classifications document a long Late Bronze Age phase of Srubnaya-related burial and settlement traditions.
What is the evidence?
observation
Radiocarbon syntheses and regional classifications document a long Late Bronze Age phase of Srubnaya-related burial and settlement traditions.The broad phase is secure, but its exact beginning, internal variants, and regional endpoints are not uniform.
