Marta, Liviu: The Late Bronze Age Settlements of Petea-Csengersima (Satu Mare, 2009)

V. Conclusions. Contribution of the Petea-Csengersima Excavations to the Knowledge of the Late Bronze Age

there is a habitation in the same place, a situation present both in the Lăpuş II—Gáva I and Gáva II phases (Lazuri, Nagykáló), in the case of several opened setdements there is an observable transidon between these phases, the bulk of Gáva II type settlements being placed in new location. All these elements indicate that starting whit was is usually called the 2nd phase of the Gáva culture, profound changes take place not only at the level of the material culture but also in what regards the society’s organisation. Again, at the present stage of knowledge, it is difficult to state to what degree the new elements of material and spiritual culture that appear in the Upper Tisa region are due to a population penetration and in what degree these can be considered only assimilated cultural influences.
