Troy, Baden Culture and Corded Ware 261

Raiko Krauß1

The 4th millennium BC in many ways is a time of change in southeastern Europe. After the discontinuation of tell-settlements in the Carpathian Basin and the eastern Balkan area one can see the formation of archaeologically <;<$_<;\Z economy. Simultaneously, burial rites show a tradition whose roots lie as far back as the 5th millennium BC. Against the background of the changing settlement pattern, the transfer of technical innovations over wide areas of Europe is also noticeable – such as the use of the and wagon, as as a generally increased use of animal labour. Compared to the 5th!9@[[;;< ;@Z};Z[$_};¢6 monopoly leadership in the production and use of metals. At the end of the 4th millennium, interrelated cultural groups @9;*};[}<!& Age culture.
