Ulaanzuukh culture

The Ulaanzuukh culture (c. 1450-1150 BCE) is an archaeological culture of the Late Bronze Age eastern Mongolia. It likely preceded and was the origin of the Slab-grave culture.[2] Indeed, the genetic profile of individuals belonging to this culture is genetically identical to the Slab Grave culture individuals',[3] which is consistent with the hypothesis that the Slab Grave culture emerged from the Ulaanzuukh.[3] Genetically, the populations of the Ulaanzuukh culture were rather homogeneous, and part of the Ancient Northeast Asians (ANA). The Ulaanzuukh and Slab Grave individuals cluster closely together and are collectively referred to as the "Ulaanzuukh_SlabGrave genetic cluster".[4][5]

  2. Lee 2023, "“SlabGrave” was representative of people in eastern and central Mongolia associated with Slab Grave (ca. 1000 to 300 BCE) mortuary sites. Likely arising out of the LBA Ulaanzuukh archaeological culture (ca. 1450 to 1150 BCE) in eastern Mongolia, Slab Grave groups expanded into central and northern Mongolia as far north as the Lake Baikal region. Overall, individuals from the Ulaanzuukh and the Slab Grave cultures present a homogeneous genetic profile that has deep roots in the region and is referred to as Ancient Northeast Asian (ANA). The recent publication of additional genome-wide data for Ulaanzuukh and Slab Grave individuals provided an opportunity to investigate the genetic profile of the Slab Grave individuals across a wider geographical distribution (Fig. 1A) and to refine our genetic modeling of the formation of the Xiongnu more generally. We updated our admixture modeling of Ulaanzuukh and Slab Grave individuals using the qpAdm program.".
