The Volosovo culture (Russian: Волосовская культура, romanized: Volosovskaya kul'tura) is an archaeological culture that followed the Neolithic Pit-marked pottery culture (Balakhna). The archaeological assemblage identified with this culture is related to finds from the middle Volga and Kama basin.[3]
The Volosovo culture emerged sometime between the third and fourth millennium B.C. and lasted until the second millennium BC.[4] The people of the Volosovo culture has been described as forest foragers.[5][6]
