Origins
edit
The Netted Ware culture emerged around 1900 BCE with the arrival of the Seima-Turbino phenomenon in the upper Volga region, replacing the earlier Fatyanovo–Balanovo and Volosovo cultures, and soon expanded to the west to Karelia and eastern and central Finland.[2] The Netted Ware culture did not reach southwestern Finland, the area of the Kiukainen culture and later the Nordic Bronze culture.[1] The subsistence of the Netted Ware culture was based on small-scale swidden agriculture and animal husbandry.[2][3]
Hypothetical linguistic affiliation
editThe spread of the Netted Ware culture has been linked to the dispersal of early forms of the Finno-Volgaic languages, especially Finnic languages and Saami languages.[2][3]
