All About the Ancient Yamnaya Culture

The Yamnaya culture, also known as the Pit Grave culture or the Ochre Grave culture, emerged around 3300-2600 BCE in the Pontic-Caspian steppe. This culture is primarily known for its significant role in the spread of Indo-European languages across a vast area of Eurasia. The Yamnaya are crucial to understanding the migration patterns that shaped the genetic and cultural landscapes of ancient Europe and Asia.
