According to Mallory, this was a component of the larger Yamnaya horizon,[1] while Anthony regards it to be a separate culture,[2] which was replaced by a late Yamnaya variant after 2800 BCE.[3]

The economy was based on both stockbreeding and agriculture. It had its own distinctive pottery, which is suggested to be more refined than that of its neighbors.
The inhumation practice was to lay the remains on its side, with the knees flexed, in pits, stone lined cists or timber-framed graves topped with a kurgan. Of particular interest are carved stone stelae or menhirs that also show up in secondary use in Yamnaya culture burials.
