Definition: The Serovo-Glazkovo culture refers to a Siberian Late Neolithic to Bronze Age culture (4200-3200 BP) located in the Baikal area. In the 1930s, Russian archaeologist A.P. Okladnikov identified three distinct, sequential hunter-gatherer societies in the Baikal region during the Holocene: Glazkovo, Kitoi and Serovo. Recent investigations by the University of Alberta suggest that a more useful description of the culture evolution of the Baikal is Kitoi followed by Serovo-Glazkovo. Glazkovo culture sites are characterized by burial mounds and burials in stone cists, copper knives and arm rings, nephrite rings and disks.
