The Gorokhovo culture (гороховская культура) was an Iron Age culture of the Scytho-Siberian world that occupied the eastern side of the Ural mountains from the 6th to the 3rd century BCE. It is similar to, yet distinct from, the neighbouring Sargat culture to the east.
Though (as of 2023) the Gorokhovo DNA data is lacking, the Gorokhovo tribes are usually interpreted as Ugrian-speaking (proto-Hungarian).https://encyclopedia.pub/entry/47724 "It is highly probable that the Gorokhovo culture is more closely related to the pre-Hungarian heritage than the Sargat culture."https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10379071/
The culture had fortified settlements, probably aimed at protecting the metallurgical resources of the Urals.
