How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article examines results of research conducted at the Bağanalı Bronze Age burial site in the 2015 field season by the Qaratau section of the Scientific-Research Center of Archeology of the Khoja Ahmed Yasawi International Kazakh-Turkish University. New data on Bronze Age cultures of the southern regions of Kazakhstan were obtained. Characteristic features of the burial ritual, of burial format, and of design elements of implements were analyzed. The authors show that the Bağanalı burial site was left by an ancient population that had formed under the influence of bearers of various Andronovo cultural traditions. Ancient interconnections among populations of northern, central, and western Kazakhstan and the area along the Ural River [Priural’ia] can be discerned in this memorial site.
