The two cultures are easily distinguished archeologically because the Yamnaya entombed their dead in mounds while the Corded Ware people dug pits. Reconstructions based on skeletal remains suggest that the Yamnaya had black hair and olive skin, like modern southern Europeans. The Corded Ware people had blonde hair and other Aryan features. That is to say, these features are a result of intermarriage between the Yamnaya and the Neolithic farming community.

Corded Ware culture spread widely, causing Proto-Indo-European to fracture into proto-Germanic, proto-Baltic, and other ancestral languages. The easternmost branch of the Corded Ware culture became the Andronova culture (2000–900 BC), an archaeological culture of the central Asian steppe. This group is thought to have spoken proto-Indo-Iranian and entered India by way of the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor.
