CATTLE DEPOSITS OF THE LATE COPPER AGE AND EARLY BRONZE AGE IN HUNGARY

Discussed here are the cattle deposits, and the assemblages associated with them, of the Baden period in Hungary, with a look at earlier and later similar phenomena. A comparison is made between the Baden and the relevant European deposits in order to highlight the similarities and differences. I also review those research inadequacies and difficulties that have constrained major new advances in the study of these deposits, and propose potential new lines of enquiry in this field.
