Vućedol Culture (jan 1, 3000 BC – jan 1, 2200 BC)

Description:

The Vučedol culture (Serbo-Croatian: Vučedolska kultura, Вучедолска култура) flourished between 3000 and 2200 BCE[1] (the Eneolithic period of earliest copper-smithing), centered in Syrmia and eastern Slavonia on the right bank of the Danube river, but possibly spreading throughout the Pannonian plain and western Balkans and southward. It was thus contemporary with the Sumer period in Mesopotamia, the Early Dynastic period in Egypt and the earliest settlements of Troy (Troy I and II). Archaeogenetics link the culture from Yamnaya migrations directly from the steppes that mixed with Neolithic people.[2] The need for copper resulted in the expansion of the Vucedol Culture from its homeland of Slavonia into the broader region of central and southeastern Europe.[3]
