ROOM III The relatively peaceful development of the Early Bronze Age was interrupted by the peoples coming from the north about 1700-1650 B. C. On the basis of the proportion and degree of the invaders' combination with the Zok people the new population can be divided into two great groups. It is called the People of the Incrusted Pottery after its characteristic ceramic craft. The so-called Southern Transdanubian group inhabited our territories in the middle phase of the Bronze Age. Southern Transdanubia was attacked again from the north about 1400 B. C. The invaders having excellent bronze weapons put an end to the independent life of the people producing the incrusted pottery. A part of the original population fled to the Southern Great Plain before the groups of the Tumulus People, whose name was given after its burial rite. A part of the inhabitants of Southern Transdanubia proceeded to the southwest, but the majority of them absorbed in the new population. After the life of the Tumulus People a new movement reached Southern Transdanubia about 1200 B. C. The hoards hidden in the soil indicate the arrival of the invaders. - The people of the Urnfield Culture occupied the Mecsek region as well. The Iron Age culture of Central-Europe was brought to Southern Transdanubia by the Late Tumulus People. The invaders representing strong armed forces built settlements on high places fortified with enormous ramparts. The earthworks became the centres of the bronze and iron crafts as well as of trade reaching vast territories. In the sixth to fourth centuries B. C. the first peoples appeared in our territory that were already mentioned by the ancient cources by their names. The cemetery at Szentlőrinc preserved for us the relics of one these peoples, i. e. the Pannons. The last prehistoric people in our territory, the Celts are already mentioned by the Greek written relics of the sixth-fifth centuries. Their princely centre was in the district of the rivers Rhone and Seine in that time. The Celtic tribes started from here to the southeast. Probably Southern Transdanubia was invaded by the Andizetes tribe in the third century B. C. ROOM IV The western part of Hungary - the territory of Transdanubia today - was the province of the slave-holder Roman Empire under the name of Pannónia from the beginning of our era for four centuries. After an earlier division it was divided again into four part about 293.
