Data points from the Minusinsk Basin – Okunevo period (− 17.7, 10.9 and − 15.9, 11.5), used for Figure 4 in this Article, were based on the results from Svyatko et al. in which carbon and nitrogen isotopic data were assigned to a cultural-chronology based on relative dating. In subsequent work from these authors2,3,4, skeletal remains from which isotope values had been measured were radiocarbon dated. This confirmed that two of the individuals (out of 21) originally attributed to the Early Bronze Age Okunevo culture were from later periods.


A corrected version of Minusinsk Basin panel in Figure 4 with the incorrect data points removed is shown below as Figure 1. The incorporation of these new data does not change our original findings.
