Kurgans, Ritual Sites, and Settlements: Eurasian Bronze and Iron Age
Endnotes
1. The Amudarya emptied into the Caspian Sea rather than the Aral Sea
during the Early Iron Age; the ancient river bed is known as the Uzboy.
2. Tamga is a Turkish-Mongolian word that signifies mark, sign of ownership,
possession, brand or seal.
3. Nomadic tribes of Dakhi (Dakha) or Dai (a variant of Dakhi) inhabited
Aral and East Caspian region. Some ancient historians considered
Dakhi-Dai a part of the Massagetae (Dakhi-Massagetae), and others–a
separate ethnos. Modern historians have not been able to solve this problem.
I consider that the Massagetae, as the general name, consisted of
many related tribes.
