The Khvalynsk culture[a] is a Middle Copper Age Eneolithic culture (c. 4,900 – 3,500 BC) of the middle Volga region.[1] It takes its name from Khvalynsk in Saratov Oblast. The Khvalynsk culture is found from the Samara Bend in the north (the location of some of the most important sites such as Krivoluchye) to the North Caucasus in the south, from the Sea of Azov in the west to the Ural River in the east. It was preceded by the Early Eneolithic Samara culture.[2]
