Kyrgyzstan
摘要
The remains of Neolithic settlements discovered in the Chui Valley in northern Kyrgyzstan date back to at least 3000 BC. During the second millennium BC semi-nomadic groups from central Siberia known as the Andronovo settled in the area. They herded cattle, horses and Bactrian camels—moving with the seasons between the valleys and lakesides and the higher pastures of the Tien Shan mountains. To the south, in the Ferghana valley around present-day Osh and Djalal-Abad and through to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the Chush Bronze Age culture was more sedentary and agricultural.
