The Viking-area burials were similar, suggesting either common origins, or a borrowing from the earlier Celtic culture.

Wagons without horses.
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.
