		IN the northern zone, the progressive cultures with incipient metallurgy are Krotovo and Samus' (between the Rivers Ob and Irtys) as well as Okunev in the Minusinsk Basin, an island of steppe on the Upper Yenisei surrounded by forested mountains (Molodin 1977).

		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.

		Sergent notes a peculiarity of the Bronze Age Bactrian culture: “in contrast with all the neighbouring cultures, the settlements of this culture are characterized by a very feeble accumulation: they were constructed in haste, apparently on the basis of a pre-established plan, and have not been occupied for very long”.
		Culturally it was closely related to the societies to its north and west, especially Bactria.
		A related culture is the Cemetery H culture on the outskirts of Harappa itself.

	A Brief Outline to the Archaeological Pre-History of Turkmenistan
		The tenacious quality of culture and tradition to remain fixed to geographical location is another factor that should not be forgotten in considering the history of the Turkmen.
		At numerous other sites similar cultural advances and technological breakthroughs were made and the uneven stages of their progression demonstrate the same complicated relationships present in the prehistoric development of south-west Turkestan, where a similar continuous sequence of remains has established a long history of human occupation.
		The Andronovo Cultural complex featured increased domestication of animals and exploitation of crop domestication, both of which precipitated a change to a sedentary pastoral and agricultural economy.

		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).
		The earlier graves of the Bishkent culture found in the Tulhar cemetery are described as unique in construction (pits with a sloping side entrance); it is the latter ones which have been described as catacombs.
		In the Novosvobodnaya culture (formerly known as Maykop II or Tsarskaya) of the second half of the third millennium, graves often had the same outlines with walls sagging inside and the angles rounded.

		Nazism portrayed their misinterpretation of an "Aryan race" as the only race capable of creating culture and civilizations, while other races are merely capable of some preservation, or destruction of, culture.
		Because of historical racist use of Aryan, and especially use of Aryan race in connection with the myths and propaganda of Nazism, the word is sometimes avoided as tainted.

		Whether this means that the whole of the La Tène culture can be attributed to a Celtic people is difficult to decide, it is probably best to keep language, material culture and political affiliation apart.
		The original homeland of the La Tène style is debated, it lay in the area from the Marne in Eastern France, north of the Alps to the upper Danube.
		La Tène cultural material appeared over a larger area, including parts of Ireland and Britain (the lake dwellings at Glastonbury, England are a well known example of La Tène culture), northern Spain, Burgundy and Austria.

		The Andronovans lived on the border of steppe and forest lands of northern Kazakstan and were primarily pastoralists with a rudimentary knowledge of agriculture.
		In other words, Zoroaster’s society does not seem to be the culture of the Andronovens in their homeland or their society on the march southward when they are more settled in eastern Iran or southern Central Asia.
