[3] The tombs of the Korgantas period differ significantly from those of the earlier Tasmola, lacking dromos passageways, and being smaller, with animal sacrifices arranged near the head.

[3] The burials are often covered with a chaotic assemblage of stones, and the dead were oriented to the East or the Northeast.

[4] In a recent study, various Korgantas period graves were carbon-dated to between 400 and circa 100 BCE cal.

[4] Genetically, the Korgantas period seems to mark an influx of Ancient Northeast Asians (Devils_Cave_N profile) in Central Asia.

[5] Of four Korgantas individuals analysed in a recent study, three had about 50% Ancient Northeast Asians (Devils_Cave_N) ancestry combined with about 50% Central Saka ancestry (Tasmola_Pazyryk), while only one had a traditional Central Saka profile.
