Chandman
The Chandman culture, also known as Chandmani culture, was a nomadic culture that existed in northwestern Mongolia and southern Siberia during the Iron Age, and is also known as the "Sagly-Bazhy culture" on the Russian side of the frontier. It is associated with the Scytho-Siberian world, Eastern Scythian/Saka horizon, and is part of the more general Saka Uyuk culture. History The Chandman culture was excavated by Russian and Mongolian archaeologists in the 1970s near Chandmani Mountain, which is located near the city of Ulaangom, Uvs Province. Radiocarbon dating of the Chandman remains ranges from 700 BCE to 300 BCE, a period spanning the Mongolian Iron Age. The Chandman culture has been linked to the nearby cultures at Sagly and Uyuk, and is part of the Scythian Saka culture. Population The Chandman population seems to have been in particularly good health, as their skeletal remains show little evidence of pathological disease. Dental and skeletal evidence show no signs of st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xiongnu Empire
The Xiongnu (, ) were a tribal confederation of nomadic peoples who, according to ancient Chinese sources, inhabited the eastern Eurasian Steppe from the 3rd century BC to the late 1st century AD. Modu Chanyu, the supreme leader after 209 BC, founded the Xiongnu Empire. After overthrowing their previous overlords, the Yuezhi, the Xiongnu became the dominant power on the steppes of East Asia, centred on the Mongolian Plateau. The Xiongnu were also active in areas now part of Siberia, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang. Their relations with the Chinese dynasties to the south-east were complex—alternating between various periods of peace, war, and subjugation. Ultimately, the Xiongnu were defeated by the Han dynasty in a centuries-long conflict, which led to the confederation splitting in two, and forcible resettlement of large numbers of Xiongnu within Han borders. During the Sixteen Kingdoms era, listed as one of the "Five Barbarians", their descendants founded the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sagly-Bazhy Culture
The Sagly-Bazhy culture or Sagly/Uyuk culture, also known as Chandman culture in Mongolia (Ulaangom cemetery), refers to the Saka culture of the Sayan Mountains, in modern-day Tuva Republic. It is the last stage of the Uyuk culture. This period of Scythian culture covers a period from the 5th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE, and follows the Arzhan culture (8th century BCE), and the Aldy-Bel culture (7th-6th century BCE) in the same location. These Scythian cultures would ultimately be replaced by the Xiongnu Empire and the Kokel Culture. Nearby Saka cultures were the Tagar Culture of the Minusinsk Basin, as well as the Pazyryk Culture (ca. 500–200 BCE) in the Altai Mountains and the Saka The Saka, Old Chinese, old , Pinyin, mod. , ), Shaka (Sanskrit (Brāhmī): , , ; Sanskrit (Devanāgarī): , ), or Sacae (Ancient Greek: ; Latin: were a group of nomadic Iranian peoples, Eastern Iranian peoples who lived in the Eurasian ... culture (ca. 900–200 BCE), to whic ...

Deer Stones Culture
Deer stones (), sometimes called the Deer stone-khirigsuur complex (DSKC), in reference to neighbouring khirigsuur tombs, are ancient megaliths carved with symbols found mainly in Mongolia and, to a lesser extent, in the adjacent areas in Siberia. 1,300 of the 1,500 deer stones found so far are located in Mongolia. The name comes from their carved depictions of flying deer. The "deer stones culture" relates to the lives and technologies of the late Bronze Age peoples associated with the deer stone complexes, as informed by archaeological finds, genetics, and the content of deer stone art. The deer stones are part of a pastoral tradition of stone burial mounds and monumental constructions that appeared in Mongolia and neighbouring regions during the Bronze Age (). Various cultures occupied the area during this period and contributed to monumental stone constructions, starting with the Afanasievo culture and continuing with the Okunev, Chemurchek, Munkhkhairkhan, or Ulaanzuuk ...

Uyuk Culture
The Uyuk culture refers to the Saka culture of the Turan-Uyuk depression around the Uyuk river, in modern-day Tuva Republic. Cultures This period of Scythian culture covers a period from the 8th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. The successive phases of the Uyuk culture are: * the Arzhan culture (9th-8th century BCE) * the Aldy-Bel culture (7th-6th century BCE) * the Sagly-Bazhy culture/ Chandman culture (5th–3rd centuries BCE). These Saka cultures would ultimately be replaced by the Xiongnu Empire and later the Kokel Culture. Nearby Saka cultures were the Tagar Culture of the Minusinsk Basin, and the Pazyryk Culture in the Altai Mountains. To the east was the Slab-grave culture. The culture of Tuva in the Scythian era is presented in Hall 30 of the State Hermitage Museum. It stopped to exist in the 2nd century BCE as a result of Xiongnu invasions.

Baikal EBA
In archaeogenetics, the term Ancient Northeast Asian (ANA), also known as Amur ancestry, is the name given to an ancestral component that represents the lineage of the hunter-gatherer people of the 7th–4th millennia before present, in far eastern Siberia, Mongolia and the Baikal regions. They are inferred to have diverged from Ancient East Asians about 24kya ago, and are represented by several ancient human specimens found in archaeological excavations east of the Altai Mountains. They are a sub-group of the Ancient Northern East Asians (ANEA). ANA ancestry is represented by hunter-gatherer remains from the Amur region, as well as remains found in present-day Mongolia. Origins The Paleolithic origins of Ancient Northern East Asians (ANEA) are not well clarified, mainly due to the lack of archaeological specimens. So far, the oldest populations for which genomic data have been obtained are the "Basal East Asian" Tianyuan man ( BP), as well as the Amur33K (c. 33,000 BP) s ...

Slab Grave Culture
The Slab Grave culture is an archaeological culture of Late Bronze Age (LBA) and Early Iron Age Mongolia.Tumen D., "Anthropology of Archaeological Populations from Northeast Asipage 25,27 The Slab Grave culture formed one of the primary ancestral components of the succeeding Xiongnu, as revealed by genetic evidence. The ethnogenesis of Turkic peoples and the modern Mongolian people is, at least partially, linked to the Slab Grave culture by historical and archaeological evidence and further corroborated by genetic research on Slab Grave remains. The Slab Grave culture is dated from 1300 to 300 BC. The origin of the Slab Grave culture is not definitively known, however, genetic evidence is consistent with multiple hypotheses of a local origin dating back to at least the Bronze Age. In particular, the people of the Ulaanzuukh culture and the Slab Grave culture are closely linked to the westward expansion of Neolithic Amur ancestry associated with Ancient Northeast Asians.
