Chronological table of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Mongolia.^[1]

The Khėmtsėg culture or Khemceg culture was an Early Bronze Age culture of southern Siberia and western Mongolia, dating to 2600–2000 BCE.^[2] It immediately follows the Afanasievo culture.^[1]

The Khemtseg culture is characterized by the creation of the first known human-shaped stelae in Mongolia, a roundish balbal-type anthropomorphic figure holding a knife, but starting a tradition in Mongolia that would continue for several thousand years.^[2] Khemtseg stelae were nearly life-sized, faced east, and were established near burial structures.^[2] A more developed tradition of anthropomorphic stelae existed in the contemporary Okunev culture to the north, in the Minusinsk basin (c. 2550/2500 – c. 1900/1700 BCE).^[3]
