Talk:Khvalynsk culture

Old talk
Is it derived from the city name of Khvalynsk or from the general Khvalyn area of Caspian Sea, used in such geological terms as "Khvalyn terrace", "Khvalyn sediments," etc. ? mikka (t) 17:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * it's named for two cemeteries found near the modern town. I'm guessing that Saratov Oblast and Samara Oblast are on opposite sides of the Volga. This might be significant in explaining the apparent problem with the dates.

"Holocene Epoch"
Which layman on earth continuously confuses these geologic/biological subdivisions into prehistory/archaeology!? We have our own subdivisions as e.g. neolithic. 195.4.77.253 (talk) 14:12, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Did it spread all the way to Nalchik?
The article states "A 67 m high earthen kurgan at Nalchik, approximately thirty metres in diameter, contained 121 individual graves...".

Two questions on this: first of al these dimension seem impossible (67 m high with a diameter of 30 m, would look much like the great lighthouse of Alexandria. Secondly the place mentioned is almost in the Caucasus, so if this is right the map is wrong, or does the map only show the original site and did they quickly spread out from there during the fifth millenium BC. If so, this would be the logical precursor of the Maykop-culture (being situated right in the centre of Maykop) and it would be nice to read something about such connections, if correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codiv (talk • contribs) 13:02, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

More mistakes
The map contradicts the geographical range described in the intro. Please correct Yourself. Thank You. HJJHolm (talk) 08:38, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
