Kizil’skoye, Russia
Country of Towns
In the archaeology of Russia, the Country of Towns is a tentative term for a territory in the southern Trans-Urals where a number of middle Bronze Age fortified settlements of the Sintashta culture were found in the 1970s and 1980s. The best known site of the territory is Arkaim. Since the discovery of the Sintashta culture, aerial photography has revealed that there is a compactly grouped number of town-type settlements in the northern steppe of the southern Trans-Urals, within an area bounded roughly 350~400 km north–south and 120~150 km east–west between Magnitorgorsk and Chelyabinsk in Orenburg Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Northern Kazakhstan and Bashkortostan.
