Abstract
Summary of the research findings
During the Eneolithic (Chalcolithic) period, the North Caucasus was a region of cultural and genetic interactions between populations from the Eurasian steppes and farming communities from Southeastern Europe. While many previous archaeological studies have investigated this contact zone, the genetic composition of the populations associated with the spread of the Maykop culture from the Caucasus towards the steppe during the Eneolithic remains unclear.
