CÎTEVA CONSIDERAŢII PRIVIND CRONOLOGIA UNOR MANIFESTĂRI CULTURALE APARŢINÎND BRONZULUI TIMPURIU TRANSILVĂNEAN
SOME CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE EARLY BRONZE AGE CULTURAL GROUPS FROM TRANSYLVANIA

Summary/Abstract: The study proposes a new chrollology for the Transylvanian liarly BrOllZl' }\.gl'. based mainly on the calibrated Cu dates from Romania and the neighbourillg countrics. The late phase of the Cotofeni culture reached the beginning of the EBA. which may be put around the middle of the III'" miI. B. C., according to the el( dates from Poiana ~\mpoiului. The flourishing of the EBA groups (Roşia, Şoimuş, Jigodin. tUlllulus hurials of Livezile type) was taking place in the second half of the III,tl miI. B.e.. heillg contemporary with the Vinkovci-Somogyvar culture and the eatly phase of the Mureş culture. The end of the EB.-\., characterised by the "besenstrich" und textilmuster keramik" has good parallels in the late ~agyrev and early Hatvan cultures, reaching the period Reinecke Al' recently dated in the last two cellturies of the III,ă miI. B.e. and the beginng of the II-II miI. B.C. According to our present and partial informations, the period between 2700/26001900/ 1800 B.e. (2300-1600 b.c.) may be proposed for the Transylvsnian Eatly Bronze Age. tuture corrections being possible in the next years, when new Cl( dates will be available.
