Yes, it is the ancient town of Arkaim.

Wikipedia:
"The site is generally dated on the 17th century BC. Earlier dates, up to the 20th century BC, have been proposed. It was a settlement of the Sintashta-Petrovka culture...
The 17th century date suggests that the settlement was about co-eval to, or just post-dating, the Indo-Aryan migration into India and Mesopotamia (the Gandhara grave culture appearing in the Punjab from ca. 1600 BC, the Indo-Aryan Mitanni rulers reached Anatolia before 1500 BC, both roughly 3,000 km removed from the Sintashta-Petrovka area), and that it was either an early Iranian culture, or an unknown branch of Indo-Iranian that did not survive into historical times."
