Based on the results of the landscape-archeological studies in the Urals-Mugodzhary region and historical-ethnographic data, the problem of variability to realize the pasturable model metal production in the Late Bronze Age is discussed in the paper. The economic-cultural system is characterized by a harmonious combination of mobile livestock based on pastures and water sources’ seasonal rotation and separate technological stages of mining and metallurgical production. It was maximally adapted to the local steppe ecosystems’ peculiarities and promoted to save their dynamic balance due to rational use of natural-resource potential.
