𝗦𝗰𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝟬𝟬𝟵 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆𝗮, 𝗨𝗸𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲 Ancient DNA analysis from Starosillya, Ukraine has yielded Sample 009, representing a Scythian individual from the classical steppe period. The sample’s Y-DNA haplogroup R1b1a1b1a1a2b1 (L2/S139) indicates clear Western Eurasian paternal ancestry, while the maternal lineage J2b1a6 suggests similar geographic origins. Harjaz

Facial reconstruction of a 5,100-year-old Afanasievan from Mongolia with Yamnaya-like auDNA He carried Y-DNA haplogroup J1a2b and mtDNA U5a1. His maternal lineage, associated with European hunter-gatherers, was widespread among Indo-Europeans. His paternal lineage, J1a2b, has been previously detected in the Khvalynsk culture; a downstream of this haplogroup also dominates the Y-DNA of the Kura-Araxes culture, possibly suggesting a dispersal of J1a2b from the Caucasus into the Steppe, where a related branch persisted and became the main haplogroup of the Kura-Araxes culture. The man, belonging to the Paleoeuropoid/Protoeuropoid type, stood roughly 180 cm tall (498mm femur length) and possessed a notably massive and robust skull, with a very long cranial length of 193 mm, massive cranial width of 151 mm, and a very broad cheekbone width of 147 mm. In Inner Asia, the Bronze Age begins with the emergence of the Afanasievo culture, which spread across vast regions of southern Siberia and Central Asia. Its sites are known from western and central Mongolia, eastern Kazakhstan, the Dzungarian Basin, and even the Middle Zarafshan, though the highest concentration lies in the Altai and the Minusinsk Basin. AMS radiocarbon dates place the Afanasievo horizon between 3300–2500 BCE. Both anthropological and ancient DNA evidence indicate that the Afanasievo culture arose from a migration of populations from Eastern Europe, specifically from the Yamnaya cultural sphere (Solodovnikov et al. 2023). The Altai Afanasievo individuals rank among the tallest ancient populations of Eurasia (Solodovnikov et al. 2018). A similarly tall stature is seen among Afanasievo individuals from central Mongolia, based on limited material from the Shatar-Chuluu cemetery (where the reconstructed individual was found) near the Khangai range (Tumen 1978; Solodovnikov, Erdene 2022). Two published Afanasievo individuals have been identified as fifth-degree relatives. One was buried at Inskaya Dol in the northwestern Altai (I11752, BARN-039) [Narasimhan et al. 2019], and the other at the Shatar-Chuluu cemetery in central Mongolia (SHT002, AT-25 (I6221, the reconstructed individual)) [Jeong et al. 2020; Ringbauer et al. 2023]. Although these sites lie 1,410 km apart, both individuals share the characteristic Afanasievo/Yamnaya genetic profile and cluster closely with other Afanasievo samples. Their biological relationship implies that at least one ancestor in their family line must have traveled several hundred kilometers within their lifetime.

Facial reconstruction of a 2,500-year-old mixed Koban-Scythian woman from Ghazhara-Yurt, Ingushetia (Nesterovsky burial) The Nesterovsky burial ground, one of the type-sites of the eastern variant of the Koban culture, was discovered and partially damaged in 1938. The Eastern Koban variant developed from the main Central Koban tradition through interactions with the Kayakent-Kharachoy culture, the latter likely representing a Northeast Caucasian-speaking population, possibly Nakh. Regarding the Nesterovsky burial ground in particular, E. I. Krupnov noted the presence of mixed Koban and Scythian elements. The Koban culture was a major Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age culture of the Central Caucasus, renowned for its advanced bronze metallurgy and craftsmanship. It bordered the Proto-Maeotian culture in the west and the Kayakent-Kharachoy culture in the east. The language of the Koban population remains unknown. Some scholars, including Valentina Ivanovna Kozenkova, have proposed a Kartvelian affiliation based on the culture's origins in the Great Liakhvi Basin (such as the site of Tlia in Georgia, the prototypical and one of the longest-inhabited Koban site, which has archaeological parallels with the even older site of Brili to the west), although no direct linguistic evidence has survived. Genetic studies reveal high levels of CHG ancestry and a predominance of Y-DNA haplogroup G2a1 within the main Koban genetic cluster. Similar genetic profiles are found among populations associated with the Late Bronze Age expansion of Kartvelian-speaking groups into eastern Georgia. Together with archaeological parallels, particularly similarities between Colchian and Koban axe forms, this evidence supports a possible Kartvelian connection. A facial reconstruction was created by Mikhail Gerasimov based on one of the best-preserved cranium from the Nesterovsky burial ground. Gerasimov noted her overall gracility and very pronounced Europoid features, a characteristic trait of the Koban population. However, he also observed that this individual differed from typical Koban crania in its large absolute dimensions (188 mm cranial length, 148 mm cranial breadth, and 140 mm bizygomatic breadth). On this basis, Gerasimov agreed with the archaeological interpretation that individuals from the Nesterovsky burial ground possessed a Scythian component. Koban ceramics and metal artifacts have been discovered in Scythian burials, while Scythian-style akinakai and a masterpiece of the Koban variant of the Scythian animal style - sword chapes depicting an elk - have likewise been found in Koban graves. Metallographic studies have shown that, after adopting the akinakes from the Scythians, Koban craftsmen quickly learned to manufacture such weapons themselves, employing even more advanced production techniques. The Scythians left a significant imprint on Koban culture, while the local Koban population also influenced Scythian cultural development - as seen in Kobanian ceramics and metal objects found in Scythian burials. The initial contact was likely military in nature and probably involved armed conflict, although clear archaeological evidence of such clashes has not yet been identified. Aside from the Scythians, the Koban population maintained contacts with the tribes of the Colchian cultural-historical sphere to the south, including tribes inhabiting the territory of modern Svaneti, through passes like Donguzorun/Babis mta and Becho, while also participating, alongside the Scytho-Cimmerians, in campaigns against the Kingdom of Urartu.
