holocene The Khvalynskculture was an Eneolithic copper age culture of the first half of the 5th millennium BC, discovered at Khvalynsk on the Volga in Saratov Oblast , Russia. The culture also is termed the Middle Eneolithic or Developed Eneolithic or Proto kurgan . It was preceded by the Early Eneolithic or Samara culture , from which it came, and succeeded by the Late Eneolithic, or Early Yamna culture, to which it descended. Extent and Duration The Khvalynskculture extended from Saratov in the north to the North Caucasus in the south, from the Sea of Azov in the west to the Ural River in the east. A good sprinkling of calibrated C 14 readings obtained from material in the graves of the type site date the culture certainly to the approximate window, 5000 4500 BC. This material is from Khvalynsk I, or Early Khvalynsk. Khvalynsk II, or Late Khvalynsk, is Late Eneolithic. Some regard Khvalynsk I as Early Eneolithic, contemporary with the Samara culture . Marija Gimbutas Gimbutas , however, believed Samara was earlier and placed Khvalynsk I in the Developed Eneolithic. Not enough Samara culture dates and sites exist to settle the question.

Bronze Age Potapovka culture , ca. 2500&mdash 2000 BC. A Bronze Age culture centered on the Samara bend in the middle Volga region, projecting well east into the Samara River valley. It seems to be connected only in a material culture way with the earlier stage of the Andronovo culture Sintashta and Petrovka settlement Petrovka period , but probably genetically to the Poltavka culture , with influences from the more northerly Abashevo culture . Loosely, it can be considered as descended from the earlier Khvalynskculture and Samara culture , both of which occupied this same geographic extent. The inhumation s are in kurgans tumuli . Smaller less important graves surround the original tumulus. Animals, either whole or in parts, were among the grave offerings cattle, sheep, goats, dogs . One burial has the corpse s head replaced with that of a horse, reminiscent of the Vedic account of how the Asv ns replace the head of the priest Dadhya c Artharvana with that of a horse so that he could reveal the secret of the sacred drink. &mdash EIEC Potapovka Culture The culture was clearly comfortable with horses. Wheels and wheeled vehicles are equivocally identified in the remains. Mallory argues that the Potapovka culture s lack of a clear genetic relationship with the early Andronovo culture, and that the Andronovo lacks an immediate local ancestor, the cultural trajectory for the Indo European societies of this region need to be seen as coming from the west. It was preceded by the Yamna culture , and succeded by the Srubna culture . Sources J. P. Mallory , Potapovka Culture , Encyclopedia of Indo European Culture , Fitzroy Dearborn, 1997.

Symbolic culture is a concept used in the social sciences to draw a contrast between culture which many animals possess and the distinctively human realm of symbolic culture . The concept of symbol ic culture draws from semiotics , and emphasises the way in which culture is mediated through signs and concepts. The concept of the symbolic nature of culture was popularised in anthropology by Clifford Geertz , and now has widespread use across a number of disciplines.
