Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age

Andronovo culture is the largest Eurasian formation in the Bronze Age, and it had a significant impact on neighboring regions. It is the important culture for understanding many historical processes, in particular, the origins and migration of Indo-Europeans. However, in most works there is a very s...
