metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to a brief description of the Abashevo culture. This culture emerged in
  forest areas of Eastern Europe at the end of the Middle Bronze Age. Abashevo monuments
  date back to the 22nd–19th centuries BC. It was the culture of cattle herders and metallurgists.
  The Abashevo culture is represented by barrow cemeteries, settlements, hoards and random
  finds. This article analyzes the funeral rites of the Abashevo culture. Several types of vessels
  are distinguished in the ceramic material, and their ornamentation is described (elements,
  motifs, composition, style). The article presents a typology of metal, bone and stone artifacts
  (weapons, tools, adornments, symbols of power). The Abashevo culture is represented by two
  local variants — in the Middle Volga (two territorial groups are known here — on the right
  and on the left banks of the Volga) and and in the South Ural. The origin of the Abashevo
  culture, most likely, had the character of transformation. It was based on cultures with Central
  European roots and local, Eastern European cultures. The end of the Abashevo culture is
  associated with the emergence of the Seyma-Turbino cultural group in Eastern Europe. The
  confrontation between the Abashevo and Seyma-Turbino military units led to the withdrawal
  of the Abashevo culture from traditional territory. In the new cultural environment, under the
  influence of the southern Ural variant of the Abashevo culture, Sintashta culture was formed.
  Pokrovka culture was formed under the influence of the Middle Volga variant of the Abashevo
  culture. Therefore, a significant role of the Abashevo culture in the formation of the
  Volga-Ural cultural genesis centre is evident.
