The Samara culture is an Eneolithic[1] (Copper Age) culture dating to the turn of the 5th millennium BCE,[note 1] at the Samara Bend of the Volga River (modern Russia). The Samara culture is regarded as related to contemporaneous or subsequent prehistoric cultures of the Pontic–Caspian steppe, such as the Khvalynsk, Repin and Yamna (or Yamnaya) cultures.[2]
