  • The analysis of corded ware and accompanying artifacts reveals the nature of its appearance the Central and Southern Balkan Eneolithic during three cultural-chronological horizons. The first horizon correspomds to the Early Eneolithic, namely the Bubanj-Salcuta-Krivodol cultural complex (BSK), while the second corresponds to the Cotofeni culture. The Third horizon, showing chronogical continuity with the second, and set within the Late Eneolithic/Early Bronze Age, has a site distribution that encompasses the territory of nearly the entire Balkan Peninsula, where corded ware is found together with other steppe elements which are present in large numbers, such are burials under mounds and the appearance of the domestic horse.
