Scientific interest on the problem of wooden utensils rose in the 80s of the twentieth century.

The issues reported in the scientific literature refers typology of wooden utensils; study of technology; metal elements; the origins of the tradition of use in the funeral rites; issues of chronology; reconstruction of the social and spiritual life. The author concludes that today all this problems remains relevant. One of the priorities is the development of a unified classification of wooden utensils for all archaeological cultures of the Bronze Age and the introduction of a common terminology to avoid confusion during the publication of new materials, as well as a comparative analysis of the presence of specific types of wooden utensils in the burial of the Bronze Age. Addressing these issues will expand our understanding of the process which took place in the steppe during the Bronze Age.
