The deep steppes were unpenetrateable without horses and wagons.
This may show that these people had a previous connection to the steppes, where the horses and wagons were buried with them ( Kurgans). They may have decided that horses were too expensive to kill/bury.
Very nice.
Thanks for posting.
Happy New Year!

That’s impressive housing considering ~400 BC, looks like some from 100 years ago in Ireland
Since most of the histories of the time were written by Romans I suspect they exaggerated the “barbarousness” of those living outside the Empire.
