Bishkent culture


The Bishkent culture or Beshkent culture is a late Bronze Age archaeological culture of southern Tajikistan, dating to c. 17001500 BC. It is primarily known from its cemeteries, which appear to have been used by mobile pastoralists.
The Bishkent culture has been seen as a possible contributor to the Swat culture, which in turn is often associated with early Indo-Aryan movements into northwest India.
