ISSUES OF THE BRONZE AND EARLY IRON AGES OF NORTHEN EURASIA IN WORKS AND CORRESPONDENCE BY A.M. TALGREN AND G. MEGART
The publications and correspondence by A.M. Talgren and G. Mergart outlined the key milestones of the origination, distribution and interaction of the Bronze and Early Iron Age cultures of Northern Eurasia, as well as the directions of further searching, not in a narrow local sense, but in a broad Eurasian context. Finnish and Austrian researchers have addressed the corresponding issues related to the Seymin and Ananyino cultures, and the origin of the Celts of the Krasnoyarsk-Angara types, which in modern science remain the most controversial topics which are far from being resolved. Their correspondence and dialogue are also valuable due to their scientific boldness, sharpness of thought and controversial ardour, which are not characteristic of strict academic works.
