Site in Kazakhstan. Krasnyi Yar is one of three Chalcolithic Botai culture sites in the region (the others are Botai and Vasilkovka), dated to about 5,600 years ago. The Botai have long been associated with early evidence for horse riding, although the precise level of domestication at these sites has been under some debate for some time.
