Tillya Tepe 1st C. BCE - 1st C. CE

Tillya Tepe is a burial site that hosts six graves, one man and five women. I didn't see anything about genetics of the people buried there. It seems to be generally assumed that the people buried there were Scythian, Yuezhi, or Parthian. There are a lot of Hellenistic themes, with Central Asian influence, to the art. Some of the jewelry is nearly identical to those found in the Xiongnu tombs of Gol Mod and Noin Ula, which are dated to the 1st C. CE also. There is a Chinese mirror. A Roman coin of Tiberius, minted in Gaul is also present. There are coins from India, Parthia, and the Yuezhi also. Items found here seem to have come from the Western-most part of Europe and the Eastern-most part of Asia and various places in-between. The finds are generally dated between the 1st C. BCE and the 1st C. CE, with nothing later than that.
