Turan, Russia
Arzhan culture
Arzhan is a site of early Saka kurgan burials in the Tuva Republic, Russia, some 60 kilometers northwest of Kyzyl. It is on a high plateau traversed by the Uyuk River, a minor tributary of the Yenisei River, in the region of Tuva, 20 km to the southwest of the city of Turan. The Arzhan culture is considered as forming the initial Scythian period, and precedes the Pazyryk culture.
