In regards to certain Late Neolithic - Early Eneolithic synchronism from Banat and Transylvania.A Bayesian approach to published absolute dates

Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the synchronism between the cultures of the late Neolithic and the early Eneolithic from Banat and Transylvania, based on the Bayesian models of the 14C data gathered from Uivar- Gomilă, Foeni-Cimitirul Ortodox, Orăştie-Dealul Pemilor, Cerişor-Cauce and Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă. By comparing the absolute data with the stratigraphic situation of these sites, it has been concluded that the genesis of the Turdaș culture takes place during the Vinča C2 phase, with the help of some cultural elements from Banat at that time. Also, the Turdaș II phase cannot be placed earlier than Vinča C2/C3, while Turdaș III is contemporary with Vinča C3-D and ends with the arrival of the Foeni group in Transylvania. Due to its new chronological position, the Foeni group may have contributed not only to the genesis of the Petresti culture, but also that of the Ariușd-Cucuteni culture.
