| | FORGOTTEN BRONZE AGE |
 | | Bronze weapons and tools (axes, adzes, pickaxes, sickles, daggers, knives, spearheads and arrowheads) are found as well as bronze ornaments (as bracelets, pectorals or earrings) frequently; these bronzes are not imported goods, but the culture had its own bronze industry. |
 | | The authors tell that both Andronovo Culture and the Bactria-Margiana Complex are routinely regarded as Indo-Iranian, and "particular sites so identified are being used for nationalist purposes"; indeed "ethnicity and language are not easily linked with an archaeological signature". |
 | | Andronovo was a cultural unity but not linguistic or ethnic one. |
