Novotitarovskaya culture (miswrittenNovotitorovka culture), was aBronze Agearchaeological culture which flourished in theNorth Caucasus ca. 3300–2700 BC.
The Novotitarovskaya culture was located immediately to the north of and largely overlapped portions of theMaykop culture. It faced theSea of Azov,[1] running from the Kerch Strait eastwards, almost to the Caspian, roughly congruent with the modernKrasnodar Krai region ofRussia.[2]
It is distinguished by its burials, particularly by the presence of wagons in them and its own distinctpottery, as well as a richer collection of metal objects than those found in adjacent cultures, as is to be expected considering its relationship to the Maykop culture.[2]
It is grouped with the largerYamnaya culture complex, often supposed as bearer of theIndo-European languages. In common with it, the economy was semi-nomadicpastoralism mixed with some agriculture.[2]
