Indo-Aryans in the Bronze Age is devoted to the origins and early history of the Indo-Aryans. According to the generally accepted theory, they originated in the Eurasian steppe, from where they then migrated to the Indian subcontinent and the Iranian plateau. However, there is no real evidence that indicates these processes. The author has collected linguistic, palaeogenetic and archaeological data to reconstruct the processes that occurred in the Eneolithic and Bronze Age over large areas of Eurasia, demonstrating that the ancestral homeland of the Indo-Iranians was in Northwestern Iran. From there some migrated to Southeastern Iran, which led to the emergence of Indo-Aryan dialects around the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. From the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, the migration of Indo-Aryan tribes to the north-east of Iran and Central Asia began, which later ended with migration to India, as well as to the Near East, Eastern Europe, the Southern Urals and, occasionally, to Southern Siberia.
Stanislav Grigoriev graduated from Chelyabinsk University, where he has worked as an archaeologist since 1985, and at the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1989. He specialises in ancient metallurgy, the Bronze Age of the Urals and Kazakhstan, the Indo-European problem and the megaliths of the Urals. Over these years, Grigoriev has published nine books, 14 chapters, 126 articles, and 78 works in conference proceedings.
