This presentation discusses the current interdisciplinary bounds of Uralic historical studies – linguistic, genetic, and cultural – and concludes with a new model for Uralic expansion:
– 2000 BCE: Uralic DNA in the Seima-Turbino zone (Ob-Irtysh river basin)
– 1200 BCE: Proto-Uralic in the Lozva-Atlym culture (Ob-Konda)
– 900 BCE: Archaic Uralic in the Gamayun-Itkul culture (Konda-Tavda-Iset + Kama)
– 700 BCE: Ugric in the Itkul-Sargat culture (Iset-Tobol-Irtysh); > Samoyedic (Chulym); Western Uralic in the Ananyino culture (Volga-Kama)
– 500 BCE: Terminal Uralic branches
