Does he mean the amber beads or something else?

This implies that Srubnaya c. and Sabatinovka are not two phases of the same
culture, doesn't it? Otherways Belozerskaya c. would be just the 3rd phase
of this sequence, as usually is thought.
Unfortunately, I know the Late Bronze cultures of this region worse than
those of the Early and Middle Bronze Age. Does the Belozerskaya c. really
demonstrate the way "back to Srubnaya" from more distinguished Sabatinovka?
