SEİMA-TURBİNO KÜLTÜRÜ

The Seima-Turbino culture is one of the important turning points in Turkic history.  It emerged suddenly in the Altai Mountains and Western Siberia between 2200-1700 BC. It was named after important archaeological sites such as the Seima cemetery in the Ural Mountains, 2600 km west of its birthplace, and the Turbino cemetery in Western Siberia. The most important feature is the bronze production technique and similar or common artefacts produced from bronze. Through migrations, the culture soon expanded to the entire Urals region, Siberia, Fennoscandia (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Karelia, Kola Peninsula), Ukraine, Central Asia, Mongolia and northern and central China (Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces). DNA data also shed light on the mobility and spread of the culture. After it was replaced by the Karasuk culture, the expansion continued, reaching as far as Thailand, Korea and Japan. The culture refers to an archaeological period that was effective in a wide area along the forest steppes of Eurasia. It covers especially northern Eurasia. Its most important feature is metalwork. Bronze swords, axes, daggers, daggers, spearheads and chariot equipment left their mark on history during this period. The artifacts recovered from graves and archaeological sites show that they were a warrior society that produced technology and lived on trade and animal husbandry. This culture is an important example for understanding early migration waves and cultural changes. The basic infrastructure of the Ural Altaic Language Family Theory is based on this culture. In Southern Siberia, this culture followed the Okunev culture in historical development, and was replaced by the Andronovo and Karasuk culture in 1600 BC.
