Fig. 1: Photo of Remontnoye (3766-3637 calBCE), with a spiral temple ring, which later would be one of the consistent artifactual attributes of Yamnaya graves, but her pose contracted on the side was like Maikop, not Yamnaya, and she has about 40% Maikop-like genetic ancestry. Interesting image because of the mixture of traits.

Fig. 2: Photo a Yamnaya grave at Tsatsa, North Caspian steppes (I6919), 2847-2499 calBCE, to contrast the grave pose with what we would see in Yamnaya, supine with raised knees, fallen to the sides in this case, with a copper dagger, a typical Yamnaya small pot, and a funnel perhaps used in making milk products; dairy peptides were ubiquitous in Yamnaya dental plaque and regular consumption of dairy foods was an innovation of the Yamnaya period in the steppes.
