The [[Yamnaya culture]] ({{circa|3300–2600&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E) was a Late Copper Age/Early Bronze Age culture of the [[Pontic-Caspian steppe]]<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Kristiansen |first1=Kristian |last2=Allentoft |first2=Morten E. |last3=Willerslev |first3=Eske |year=2017 |title=Re-theorising mobility and the formation of culture and language among the Corded Ware Culture in Europe |journal=Antiquity |volume=91 |issue=356 |pages=334–347 |doi=10.15184/aqy.2017.17 |issn=0003-598X |doi-access=free |hdl-access=free |hdl=1887/70150}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Villalba-Mouco |first1=Vanessa |last2=Oliart |first2=Camila |last3=Haak |first3=Wolfgang |date=2021-11-19 |title=Genomic transformation and social organization during the Copper Age–Bronze Age transition in southern Iberia |journal=Science Advances |volume=7 |issue=47 |pages=eabi7038 |bibcode=2021SciA....7.7038V |doi=10.1126/sciadv.abi7038 |issn=2375-2548 |pmc=8597998 |pmid=34788096 |hdl-access=free |hdl=10810/54399}}</ref> associated with early [[Indo-Europeans]]. It was followed on the steppe by the [[Catacomb culture]] ({{circa|2800–2200&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E) and the [[Poltavka culture]] ({{circa|2800–2200&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E). The closely-related [[Corded Ware culture]] in the [[forest-steppe]] region to the north ({{circa|3000–2350&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E) spread eastwards with the [[Fatyanovo culture]] ({{circa|2900–2050&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E), which subsequently developed into the [[Abashevo culture]] ({{circa|2200–1850&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E) and the [[Sintashta culture]] ({{circa|2200–1750&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E). The earliest known [[chariot]]s have been found in Sintashta burials and there is earlier evidence for chariot use in the Abashevo culture. The Sintashta culture expanded further eastwards into central Asia becoming the [[Andronovo culture]], while the [[Srubnaya culture]] ({{circa|1900–1200&nbsp;BC|lk=no}}E) continued the use of chariots in eastern Europe.
