Mobile dwellings
Mobile dwellings. The Saka tribes of the early Iron Age on the territory of Kazakhstan used to put yurt-like shelters on wheeled carts, thus inventing a new habitation tradition and lifestyle. Now the nomadic pastoralist peoples were able to live by moving about huge territories "without ever getting off the wheels". This mode of living and transportation allowed for expanding the human presence and nomadic economy into the vast spaces of previously uninhabited Eurasian Steppe plains.
