A Janus Pannonius Múzeum Évkönyve ( 2017 ) 176 the turn of the 53rd and 52th centuries BC (5210-5165 cal BC 95% probability; 5200-5180 cal BC 95% probability). ?e formal modelling of the radiocarbon data have shown, that the activity in the eastern and western settlement parts could start at the same time, while the middle settlement part was established a decade or two later. ?e study also found, that the western part of the settlement was abandoned last. ?e pottery inventory of the eastern settlement part of Versend–Gilencsa made up of three distinguishable segments: Starčevo-style, early LBK-style and early Vinča-style ceramics were found together in most houses, although, in varying relative proportion. On the western settlement part, however, the pottery recalls the Ražište and Malo Korenovo styles. According to the modelling of the 68 radiocarbon data, the settlement activity in Versend could start later than in Szederkény, only around the last third of the 53rd century cal BC (5255-5210 cal BC 93% probability; 5235-5215 cal BC 68% probability) in both settlement parts, and it ended a?er a short development around the end of the same century (5210-5195 cal BC 68% probability). Similar settlement remains with early Vinča-type assemblages, dated confidently between the Starčevo and Sopot Ib-II periods, are not yet known neither from the adjacent croatian Baranja region nor from Eastern Slavonia south of the Drava river. ?e finds of Szederkény, Versend and Villányvirágos, however, foreshadow that similar assemblages, at least in terms of the pottery style, can be expected probably also south of the Drava river. All the more so since the Vinča-type pottery manufacture, including the Ražište-type, do not have any direct antecedents in southeast Transdanubia. ?e nearly one and a half century hiatus, which can be detected between the latest known Starčevo (around 5500 cal BC) and the earliest Vinča assemblages (around 5350 cal. BC) in southern Transdanubia, makes the issue even more difficult. ?e appearance of the early Vinča-type matrial culture in southeast Transdanubia and probably also south of it along the right bank of the Danube, and the new radiocarbon data clearly indicate that the continuity of the late Starčevo settlements during the whole Vinča A period, as it was previously assumed, seems unlikely. Newertheless, the highly entangled pottery assemblages of Versend and Tolna-Mözs have shown, that in certain regions there could be settlements or individual households, where the late Starčevo ceramic tradition could be preserved even until the second half of the Vinča A period. ?e most surprising result of the absolute chronological studies is that the so-called Ražište type is certainly present in the area of South Baranya Hills already in the beginning of the Vinča A period. ?e Vinča and Ražište ceramic styles proved to be broadly coeval traditions, lived side by side instead of being succeeding entities as previously assumed. However, these phenomena clearly coexisted on micro-regional and site level, but the mixing of the two pottery
