Information About

Poltavka Culture




With the Catacomb Culture , it is a successor to the Yamna Culture . It seems to be seen as an early manifestation of the Srubna Culture . There is evidence of influence from the Maykop Culture to its south.

The only real things that distinguish it from the Yamna culture are changes in pottery and an increase in metal objects. Tumulus Inhumation s continue, but with less use of Ochre .

It is said to underlie the later Srubna and Potapovka Culture s. It is presumptively early Indo-Iranian .
