Middle Bronze Age- Late Bronze Age Transitions in the Southern Urals (Russia). Case Study: Shifts in Settlement Patterns in the Kyzil Area, Chelyabinsk District.

sharapov, denis 15 May 2011 (has links)
The following paper focuses on the transitional period between the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) and the Late Bronze Age (LBA) in the Southern Urals, Russia. GIS-based analysis of Bronze Age settlement patterns in the Kyzil Area points to a number of important findings. The study concludes the demographic impossibility of an autonomous development scenario of the Sintashta – Srubnaya-Alakul cultural transformation, rejects the presence of ‘proto-city’ or urbanization developments in the region during the Bronze Age, and points to the shift to a more collective form of control over natural resources during the LBA period. The study also examines the spatial distribution of ‘kurgan’ cemeteries in the area. Among other things, this thesis illustrates how settlement pattern studies can add to and complement the heavily burial data - driven research, often relied upon in the archaeological analysis of the Eurasian Steppes.

Från stäppen till stallet : DNA-studiernas upplysningar om hästdomesticering / From the Steppes to the Stable : Enlightenment on Horse Domestication through DNA-Studies

Svanér, Louise January 2024 (has links)
The question of horse domestication have long been debated and discussed amongst scholars. There have been serval theories about when and where horse domestication first took place and when horses became our loyal companions that we build a lot of our society around. The Eurasian steppes have long been subject of these discussions. Within recent years a lot of DNA- studies have been done on the subject to try to answer these questions. In 2018 a DNA-study showed that the prewalski horse, who have been thought to be the last wild horse on earth, is ancestors to the horses found at Botai. The Botai culture has long been thought to be the origin of domesticated horses. In 2021 even more shocking discoveries came to light. It was revealed that all modern day horses comes from the same genetic line called DOM2. The DOM2 linage originates from the lower Volga-Don region and started to spread across Eurasia around 2000 BC. These revelations made people reevaluate previous assumptions concerning early use of horses, like the Yamnaya culture expansion to Europe which was previously believed to have taken place on horseback. This study aims to address the impact of new DNA studies on our understanding of horse domestication and its spread, analysing various theories, DNA research, and archaeological findings. / Frågan om hästdomesticering har länge debatterats och diskuterats bland forskare. Det har funnits flera teorier om när och var hästdomesticering först ägde rum, och när hästarna blev våra trogna följeslagare som vi byggde mycket av vår samhällsstruktur kring. Den eurasiska stäppen har länge varit föremål för dessa diskussioner. Inom de senaste åren har många DNA- studier gjorts om ämnet för att försöka besvara dessa frågor. År 2018 visade en DNA-studie att przewalski hästen, som man tidigare trott var den sista vilda hästen i världen, är en ättling till hästarna som hittats vid Botai. Botaikulturen har länge förmodats vara ursprunget till domesticerade hästar. År 2021 fördes ännu mer chockerande upptäckter fram i ljuset. Det avslöjades att alla moderna hästar kommer från samma genetiska linje som kallas DOM2. DOM2-linjen har sitt ursprung i nedre Volga-Don-regionen och började sprida sig över Eurasien cirka 2000 f.Kr.. Denna upptäckt fick människor att omvärdera tidigare antaganden kring tidig användning av hästar, som yamnayakulturens expansion till Europa som tidigare trotts ha skett till häst. Denna studie syftar till att adressera de nya DNA-studiernas påverkan på vår förståelse av hästdomesticering och dess spridning, analysera olika teorier, DNA- forskning och arkeologiska fynd.
