Over the past decade, the migration of Yamnaya groups from the Pontic-Caspian steppes to Southeastern Europe 5000 years ago has sparked intense debate in both archaeology and genetics. The Yamnaya have attracted the interest of prominent research projects, including the ERC Advanced Project “The Yamnaya Impact on Prehistoric Europe” based in Finland at the University of Helsinki, which has contributed to the topic through fieldwork and interdisciplinary studies. Further efforts have been undertaken by scholarsin Southeastern and Eastern Europe to research regional and super-regional aspects of the Yamnaya culture. Through intensive international cooperation in recent years, much more detailed knowledge of the burial practices and material culture of Yamnaya groups has been acquired. Additionally, a more precise and refined chronology of the various phases of their presence west of the Black Sea, has been developed. Furthermore, a deeper understanding of their lifestyle, which is reflected in their bio-anthropology, has been gained. Other research approaches integrate data provided by genetics and archaeology to explore the complex relationship between biology and culture in the creation of social identity within the context of the Yamnaya migration. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research progress accomplished in recent years and pave the way for future research on the topic of the Yamnaya impact on prehistoric Europe.
