A horizontal red layer at about 35 feet above the base extends through the
kurgan and undoubtedly records a conflagration. This would seem to show also
that the houses of that time were thatched; and this would indicate a climate
that favored a more abundant vegetation than now obtains. The same culture
continues above this line until it ceases abruptly at 45 feet above the base, and is
replaced, without transition, by an entirely new population bringing in culture II.
There is nothing to show whether the population abandoned the site voluntarily
or were driven out or exterminated by an enemy. Some skeletons of adults, who
seem not to have been formally buried, were found at this level, and these may
be for us the record of a final tragedy. On the other hand, our physiographic
analysis of the climatic changes shows a proximate coincidence between the ending
of this culture and an extreme of aridity.
