| Summary: | Based on geographical and ecological data, the occupation of Central Asia during the Bronze Age has long been divided into two areas, located approximately on either side of the Syr-Darya River (Fig. 1).
The southern part of this area was mainly occupied by the Oxus civilisation, also described as the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex, from ca. 2300 to 1500–1400 BCE.¹ Populations were sedentary and agro-pastoral. In the northern area, extending from the Ural Mountains to Siberia and Xinjiang, different cultural entities are known, such as the Afanasievo or Sintashta cultures of the 3rd millennium BCE and the Andronovo Cultural Community |
