Migrations and Ethnocultural Processes in Central Asia (Eneolithic and Bronze Age)

Abstract

The ancient history of Central Asia features migrations, assimilation processes and cultural interactions between different tribes. This article elaborates on migrations and ethnocultural processes in Central Asia in the middle of the Eneolithic and Bronze Ages. Analysing the archaeological artefacts connected with ancient cultures of Central Asia is essential to reconstruct the migration and ethnocultural processes. Therefore, the main attention is drawn to the reasons and results of migrations and ethnocultural development in Central Asia. The methods applied include reviewing historical sources, historical and comparative analysis, chronological method, analysis of approaches and scientific views on the research topic
