49 The territorial investigation of the extension of the group and a review on the radiation of the material enable us to draw up a sketch of relative chronology. The influence of the Kisapostag culture is felt rather strongly. Tokod material is unknown on Kisapostag sites, whereas the influence of the latter culture does not appear in the material of our group in pure forms but as a transformed tradition only. It clearly follows that our group is younger than the mentioned culture in Transdanubia. The material of the group is never intermingled with the Nagyrév culture. The direct and indirect stratigraphy of several sites proves that our group always follows this culture. Stratum II of the Slovakian site Male Kosihy yielded finds of the Zók culture, coeval to the early Nagyrév one in its turn, whereas strata III A-C gave material of Hatvan-Tokod type. On Tát Sports Ground, some 3 km far from the Nyergesújfalu-Brickworks settlement, a pure Nagyrév settlement was unearthed.

55 The two cannot be contemporary, since the nearby Nagyrév material left no trace whatever on the Tokod settlement. Consequently the Kisapostag and the Nagyrév cultures may figure as antecedents only; their amalgamation may have begun probably during the existence of the Tokod group in Eastern Transdanubia, to the South from the Danube bend. A parallel of our group may be found in the younger phase of the Hatvan culture, to 47 A. MOZSOLICS: Die Ausgrabungen in Tószeg im Jahre 1948. Acta Arch.

The group is dervied from this culture, being the base of its material culture and ethnical stock equally. Several Hatvan settlements and cemeteries are furnishing proofs for the continued contact with the ancient area of origin. Incrusted pottery of Tokod character is known from the cemetery of Tárnáméra, further in the material of the Nagybörzsöny-Górhegy, Tiszatardos, Mezőcsát-Laposhalom, Zaránk etc. settlements. The Tokod group is coeval with the Aunjetitz culture, infiltrating Slovakia, too. In the mentioned Hurbanovo cemetery authentic graves of contracted burial yielded several incrusted small jugs of Tokod type. The last phase and the end of the existence of our group are proved by exact stratigraphical data both in settlements and cemeteries. In Slovakia: the cemetery of the incrusted ware people and the Magyarád culture contained in some graves Tokod pieces at lia. At Male Kosihy we find a Magyarád cultural layer (Stratum IV) above the already mentioned Hatvan-Tokod one (Stratum III). In Northern Transdanubia: in the cemetery of Tokod-Altáró a grave of Tokod character contains incrusted and Magyarád vessels in one batch, nay a part of the cemetery was used in the culture of the Transdanubian incrusted ware people. Several cemeteries of the culture of the incrusted pottery folk contain the vessels of our group, both in gravés and as stray finds (Dunaalmás, Szőny-Brewery.) 51 According to a kind information by N.
