It faced the Sea of Azov,[1] running from the Kerch Strait eastwards, almost to the Caspian, roughly congruent with the modern Krasnodar Krai region of Russia.
[2] It is distinguished by its burials, particularly by the presence of wagons in them and its own distinct pottery, as well as a richer collection of metal objects than those found in adjacent cultures, as is to be expected considering its relationship to the Maykop culture.
[2] It is grouped with the larger Yamnaya culture complex, often supposed as bearer of the Indo-European languages.
In common with it, the economy was semi-nomadic pastoralism mixed with some agriculture.
