The Ust-Mil culture existed in large parts of Yakutia in north-eastern Siberia from around the 12th to 5th centuries BC.

It was named after a site near the village of Ust-Mil ( Russian Усть-Миль ) in the Rajon (Ulus) Ust-Maja of the Republin Sacha (Yakutia) in Russia . The village is located at the mouth of the Mil River in the Aldan ( 59 ° 39 ′  N , 133 ° 7 ′  E ).

Round-bellied vessels with a swinging rim are characteristic of ceramics; the decoration consists of imprints, notches and protrusions. Stone and bones were still important materials, but bronze was also used in large quantities. The bronze objects produced by the Ust-Mil culture include weapons in particular, but there are also numerous smaller objects. Some settlements, some of which have multiple layers, are known, but no building remains have been found. Accordingly, the bearers of the Ust-Mil culture were probably nomadic hunters and gatherers.
