304:, "âSlabGraveâ was representative of people in eastern and central Mongolia associated with Slab Grave (ca. 1000 to 300 BCE) mortuary sites. Likely arising out of the LBA Ulaanzuukh archaeological culture (ca. 1450 to 1150 BCE) in eastern Mongolia, Slab Grave groups expanded into central and northern Mongolia as far north as the Lake Baikal region. Overall, individuals from the Ulaanzuukh and the Slab Grave cultures present a homogeneous genetic profile that has deep roots in the region and is referred to as Ancient Northeast Asian (ANA). The recent publication of additional genome-wide data for Ulaanzuukh and Slab Grave individuals provided an opportunity to investigate the genetic profile of the Slab Grave individuals across a wider geographical distribution (Fig. 1A) and to refine our genetic modeling of the formation of the Xiongnu more generally. We updated our admixture modeling of Ulaanzuukh and Slab Grave individuals using the qpAdm program.".

527:, p. Fig.13, "However, a group of chance finds of animal-headed ornaments in the same style, along with a large bronze knife with a ram (or ibex) head, have come from the Ămnögovi and Ăvörkhangai regions, which overlap with the Tevsh area (Fig. 13a). These strongly-formed heads all have eyes shaped as short tubes (Erdenechuluun and Erdenebaatar 2011). Many other knives from the Mongolian region (Fig. 13c) have parallels found in the Arc (Fig. 14d). Thus, it seems reasonable to suggest that some knives, such as the one with a stag head at Huayuanzhuang (Fig. 8d), may be copies of or have associations with metalwork from southern Mongolia." Warning: These are chance finds, and have not been directly related to Ulaanzuukh culture burials. They only come from a region where Tevsh culture is

These different monuments, petroglyphs, khirigsuurs and deer stones have illuminated the key role of the Mongolia plateau as a major region of origin for chariot and horse use in East Asia (and their associated weapons and tools), and also the likely source for the chariots and horses employed at Anyang.".

alternatively, the descendance of the
Xiongnu from the Slab Grave culture population, who preceded them in eastern Mongolia, is debated (Lee and Linhu, 2011). Such a distribution of Xiongnu words may be an indication that both Turkic and Eastern Iranian-speaking groups were present among the Xiongnu

The genetic profile of individuals belonging to this culture is virtually identical to the profile the Slab Grave culture individuals, which is consistent with the hypothesis that the Slab Grave culture emerged from the
Ulaanzuukh. Genetically, the populations of the Ulaanzuukh culture were rather
