DEAR JASKA , the sanauli warrior graves have no correlation to the sintastha culture not even distant the strontium analysis of the warrior correlates to the neolithic iranian type of population , Archeologists use the isotope ratios of strontium to determine residential origins and migration patterns of ancestral humans. The human body incorporates Sr by way of diet. Since Sr isotope ratios in soils, rocks, and waters vary widely in nature, and are not appreciatively fractionated by biologic processes, the assumption is that the isotope values for strontium in bone and tooth enamel will reflect those in the portion of the biosphere in which an individual lived. Thus, strontium isotope composition provides links to the land where food was grown or grazed
Dr-Manjul.pdf , is the analysis report of archeological finds of the excavation in sinauli region
to be very honest steppe homeland holds zero evidence , none in case of archeological prespective , there not a single corded ware related pottery in india , neither is there concrete genetics signature to be used as a evidence ,
All this suggests a balochi route for arrival of ie languages into the indian subcontinent
also the the recent efforts of langauge experts like steven c bonta now confirm the indus valley script is early forms of sanskrit

I find it really very wicked and crooked behaviour the supporters of steppe hypothesis indulge into, Like what you have done
The inherent belief the a population x is ancestral to ppn y without any concrete genomic and archeological evidence is very bad practice
There are no evidence to go against the andronovo origin both genomics and archeology wise ,than to say the opposite .
I find this behaviour very immoral and crooked!!!
The term chariot originally comes from the Latin word "carrus" which means a cart.
The AIT/AMT camp resorts to distinctions in terminologies - a marker of obsessive pedantism..
Piggott was unconsciously adding some modern physics into his design of the vipatha. That upwardly angled kink in the pole is based on lever dynamics.
A chariot is also a subtle Class 1 lever - the draft horses have to keep the <chariot+rider> elevated.
A Class 1 lever is where the fulcrum lies between the load and the force.
While the majority of the horsepower is expended in pulling the chariot in the forward direction, a small amount of force is spent to keep the <car+riders> in the air.
For a class 1 lever, the trick to reduce the work done is to reduce the distance between the fulcrum and the load. The shorter the distance, the lesser the effort by the horses in pushing downwards.
Hence the reasoning of Piggott in applying an upward angle closer to the body of the vipatha. There is sound modern physics behind this feature.The question is whether the technology of 2000 BCE allowed for production of kinks in either the pole or the car structure
Wood bending is a master craftsman's secret even today. And a curved pole that has to also pull loads would be even more difficult.
However there is indeed a curved kink in the Sinauli chariot to bring the load closer to the fulcrum.Where though?
It is built into the D-frame of the floor of the chariot. It is also made of cast metal (bronze?), thereby avoiding the complexity of wood bending.
In effect, the riders are now almost standing on the fulcrum or just behind it - greatly reducing the distance to the fulcrum.The Sinauli chariot almost completely falls into the form-fit-function of the Piggott reconstruction. Ephemerally close to his imagination of a vipatha based on the Vedic corpus.
