The Glaskovo culture is an archaeological culture from the Copper Age . It was in the late fourth and third millennium BC. In the suburbs and Transbaikalia in south-east Russia and northern Mongolia , from where it spread to the upper reaches of the Yenisei . Settlement continuity since the Mesolithic is suggested by the continued use of settlement areas. In addition, relationships with the Ymyjachtach culture , spread further north, can be observed.

In the pottery there are bag-shaped vessels with a curved rim and bowls or mugs with rounded walls and a slightly curved top and a decorated rim. Some settlement sites, some of which have been visited since the Mesolithic, are known where hearths or pits but no building remains have been found, which speaks in favor of only periodic use.

In the economy, the wild boaring played the main role, but occasionally found sheep and goat bones also speak for approaches to animal husbandry. The small finds include various weapons made of bone and stone as well as pieces of jewelry made of stone, animal teeth and nephrite . The first copper tools and copper jewelry represent an essential innovation. Small human figures made of bones occupy a special position.

Research into graves is good. The dead were buried stretched out on their backs in rectangular or oval grave pits that were partially covered with stones. The burial equipment consists of weapons for men and jewelry for women; no social differences can be identified.
