The Samus culture (ru: Самусьская культура, romanizedSamus'skaya kul'tura, lit.'Samus culture' ) is an Early Bronze Age archaeological culture, around 2000 BC. It was widespread in Tomsk-Narym Basin Southern Western Siberia, on the middle Irtysh and in the upper reaches of the Ob and showed close ties to the neighboring Krotov culture.[1][2][3]
