The Decline of the Bronze Age Civilization and Movements of the Tribes

The third millennium BC saw important changes to the structure of Central Asian societies. Some communities died out, whilst others flourished and developed new agricultural technologies, and there was a significant movement of tribes in this period. Earthenware and metal objects have been found in burial sites across Asia, whilst changes in agricultural practices can be observed, reflecting the movement of northern steppe tribes into Central Asia.
