The Potapovka culture (2500–2000 BC) is an archaeological culture of the Bronze Age in the central Volga region. It was preceded by the Yamnaya culture and followed by the Srubna culture .
It seems to be related to the early stages of the Andronovo culture and Sintashta culture only through material culture , but is probably related to the Poltavka culture , with influences from the northern Abashevo culture . A descent from the earlier Chwalynsk culture and the Samara culture , which were also settled in this geographical region, is very likely .
The burials were carried out in kurgans , which were surrounded by smaller graves. The grave goods also included animals (cattle, sheep, goats, dogs), complete or in individual parts. At a funeral, the head of the corpse was replaced by the head of a horse.
The Potapovka culture had numerous horses. The few remains that could indicate the wheel or wheeled cart are extremely questionable.
Mallory claims that both the Potapovka culture lack a clear genetic link to the early Andronowo culture, and the Andronowo culture lacks an immediate local predecessor and therefore regards the cultural movements of the Indo-European societies in this region as coming from the west Need to become.
