Talk:Khvalynsk culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it derived from the city name of Khvalynsk or from the general Khvalyn area of Caspian Sea, used in such geological terms as "Khvalyn terrace", "Khvalyn sediments," etc. ? mikka (t) 17:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

it's named for two cemeteries found near the modern town. I'm guessing that Saratov Oblast and Samara Oblast are on opposite sides of the Volga. This might be significant in explaining the apparent problem with the dates.
