The book "Урало-Казахстанские степи в гунно-сарматское и раннетурецкое время II-VIII веков н. э. " by [Author's name] is a groundbreaking work that challenges the traditional understanding of the material culture of the early Huns and Turks who inhabited the Ural- Kazakhstan steppes between the 2nd and 8th centuries AD. The author presents a new chronology and ethnocultural interpretation of individual archaeological sites, providing a fresh perspective on the history of these nomadic peoples. The book begins with an in-depth analysis of the Gunn-Sarmatian complexes found in the Ural-Kazakhstan steppes, which were previously believed to be part of the Tasmlinskaya culture of Kazakhstan. The author argues that these sites are actually earlier examples of the Sarmatian culture, dating back to the 2nd century AD. This challenges the traditional view that the Sarmatians emerged in the 3rd century AD, and instead suggests that they have a much longer history in the region. The author also compares the Gunn-Sarmatian complexes with other late Sarmathian cultures in the Lower Volga region and synchronous memorials in Southern Kazakhstan and Middle Asia. This comparison reveals striking similarities between the two, suggesting that they share a common cultural heritage. The author argues that this shared culture is evidence of the early unification of the Huns and Turks, who were once thought to be separate and distinct groups.
