Artifacts indicate that the carriers of this culture were farmers and winemakers [1] .
Modern scientists of Azerbaijan believe [2] - that this culture mainly used burials in ground burial grounds, in which the bodies were found in heavily twisted poses. The culture of jar burials is considered separate by them, while referring to the fact that the distribution areas of these two cultures are different, although they overlap in places (coexist).
