The name derives from the village of Andronovo where in 1914, several graves were discovered, with skeletons in crouched positions, buried with richly decorated pottery.
In southern Siberia and Kazakhstan, the Andronovo culture was succeeded by the Karasuk culture (1500-800 BCE), which is sometimes asserted to be non-Indo-European, and at other times to be specifically proto-Iranian.

The Andronovo tribes were both farmers and stock-raisers, as repeatedly stressed by all the students of their culture.
It should be further noted that timewise the closest affinities with Andronovo decor are to be found in North Caucasian sites of the turn of the second and first millennia B.C., which period almost dovetails with that of the colonization by Andronovo tribes in the 13th century B.C. of Southern Siberia's steppes and forest-steppes.
As in the entire range of the Andronovo decor, in North-Russian embroidery and ornamental weaving, too the compositions are divided into three horizontal registers with the often repetitive top and bottom two enclosing the central register that as a rule displays the vitalmost designs from the angle of semantic significance.

As the Andronovo hypothesis was being developed, fresh evidence calling for a revision of the problem of the origin of Aryans was also being gathered.
Westwards of the Timber-frame Andronovo circle the catacomb cultural community was situated during the first half of the second millennium B.C. The designation catacomb arises from the fact that interments were done in the side chambers of the grave pits cut into harrows (described by Bratchenko 1974; Hadiisler 1974, 1976).
This job is undertaken here on account of the support provided by the appearance of the catacomb graves in the wake of nomadic immigrants (as distinct from local population) in Palestine and Phynikia, and in the neighbourhood of Mitanni between the nineteenth and seventeenth centuries B.C. (Jirka 1956; Kenyon 1957; 1960).

I believe the Andronovo were prior to the Indo-European's of the Indus, this would explain the Hittite's large substrate interference.
The Andronovo is a good candidate for the original homeland that would make the Hittites language close to half of the original and explain why the Hittite language stands by it's self.

Los portadores de la cultura Andronovo practicaban la cultura cerealera (trigo y cebada) y una ganadería sedentaria, que devino trashumante en la Fase Reciente.
Los andronovos desarrollaron una notable metalurgia, esto en gran medida merced a que vivieron en un territorio rico en diversos minerales que ellos exportaban principalmente a las poblaciones protourbanas de las cultura Namazga (en el actual Turkmenistán y en la Bactriana) así como a los pueblos del Complejo Arqueológico Bactro-Margiano.

 ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS OF BRONZE AGE PASTORAL SOCIETIES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF EASTERN EURASIA
The “Andronovo Cultural Community” is the name used to describe a cultural phenomenon that became widespread across the Eurasian steppes during the second millennium BCE (Sorokin 1966).
Specifically, the Andronovo Culture is a general term that describes a widely distributed set of archaeologically documented materials including: 1) open form ceramic jars with incised geometric decorations; 2) stone-lined burials located under round mounds of earth or within rectangular stone structures; and 3) specific bronze objects such as axes, weapons, and jewelry (Fig.

The earliest fully developed chariots known are from the chariot burials of the Andronovo (Timber-Grave) sites of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture in modern Russia and Kazakhstan from around 2000 BC.
It built heavily fortified settlements, engaged in bronze metallurgy on a scale hitherto unprecedented and practiced complex burial rituals reminiscent of Aryan rituals known from the Rigveda.
The Andronovo culture over the next few centuries spreads across the steppes from the Urals to the Tien Shan, likely corresponding to early Indo-Iranian cultures which eventually spread to Iran and India in the course of the 2nd millennium BC.

 Bronze Age pastoral landscapes of Eurasia and the nature of social interaction in the mountain steppe zone of eastern ...
This study focuses on the nature of social and economic interaction among Late Bronze Age (c.1800-1500 BC) pastoralists of the mountainous steppes of Semirech'ya (eastern Kazakhstan).
This period is typically documented in terms of various regional archaeological culture groups of the Andronovo Cultural Community, whose alleged mobility contributed to the formation of a wide macro phenomenon that spanned the Eurasian steppe zone, reflected in the wide distribution of a common material culture.
The genesis of this distribution is typically explained through models of long distance migration or cultural diffusion, which resulted from the demands of an extensive pastoral economy and was facilitated by the ability to ride horses on the part of Bronze Age groups.

Other scholars like Brentjes (1981), Klejn (1974), Francfort (1989), Lyonnet (1993), Hiebert (1998) and Sarianidi (1993) have argued that the Andronovo culture cannot be associated with the Indo-Aryans of India or with the Mitanni because the Andronovo culture took shape too late and because no actual traces of their culture (e.g.

On the whole we don't know where this eastern component came from, but we can see that there was a "dynamic interaction" between late Andronovo and Karasuk cultures which reached the Pontic region.
The Scythian culture of the Pontic steppe is now seen as the result of the mix of local eastern Pontic formerly sedentary populations and central Asian nomadic populations.
Also, the overlapping zone between the Timber-Grave and Andronovo Cultures resulted in the formation of the western component of the Sarmatians, the Sauromatians, themselves.
