Sintashta culture

The Sintashta culture, flourishing around 2100–1800 BCE in what is now Russia, is known for its advanced metallurgy, especially bronze working, and distinctive chariot technology. It represents a key early society in the Indo-Iranian linguistic and cultural region, often linked to the development of horses and advanced metal tools. Sintashta people built fortified settlements, crafted weapons and tools, and participated in long-distance trade. Their innovations influenced subsequent cultures, including the Andronovo culture, and they are considered a significant step in the social and technological evolution of ancient Eurasian societies.
