(Fat'janovo Culture) [CP]
Late Copper Age and early Bronze Age communities of the 2nd millennium bc in the upper Volga region of Russia, named after a cemetery site excavated near Yaroslavl, Moscow Region. The extent of the culture covers the former Volga-Oka Culture, but a northern variant known as the Yaroslav–Kalinin group and a southern variant known as the Moscow group have been recognized. Burials were in fairly deep-cut flat graves as single individuals, the main grave goods including globular jars, stone battle-axes with distinctive drooping blades, copper trinkets, and sometimes clay models of wheels. Part of the Single Grave Culture tradition.
