Data confidence 70 medium
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

In the middle of the 1st millennium BC, the early Sakas settled by the steppes of Ural-Kazakhstan in the historical community of the Tasmola culture. Under its development maximum, it covered considerable territories from east slopes of South Ural in the West to Chingiztau Mountains in the East, from forest-steppe strip of Zauralie and Western Siberia in the North to Lake Balkhash and Betpakdala Desert in the South. The core of this community – the Central Kazakhstan’s Tasmola archaeological culture - received scientific justificat ion in the fundamental work of Kadyrbayev in 1966. Except for some generalized works, the grand question which didn’t receive proper interpretation about the Tasmola tribes is the socio-demographic characteristics of the Tasmola society.
