198 to the later phase of the neolithic period. Besides the ceramic form typical of the earlier linear pottery culture and some linear sherds of the settlement, the biconical bowl-forms typical of the Banat culture and the red painting displaying the influence of the Tisza culture are dominating. The bowls of the settlement are also characteristic of the Tisza culture. The chronological order of the Transdanubian neolithic cultures, according to the results of research made so far is as follows : the earlier linear pottery culture, then the later one, in some places also a group of the latter one of Zseliz character ; after that the Tisza culture coming from the Great Plain or rather a material of mixed character, developed on the influence of the Tisza culture. Ultimately the I

vengyel culture which already belongs to the aeneolithic period. Against the opinion admitting the succession of the cultures, the solution arose that the' different material of the sites of mixed culturesshould be considered contemporary. The examination of the Transdanubian neolithic graves — though, regretfully, they are few in number — proves that not only the material of the settlements, but also that of the cemeteries are mixed in this area. Nearly in every grave at Nagytétény, Szob, Békásmegyer, Lovasberény and Bodajk, similar to those of Bicske, vessels showing the influence of two or more cultures occurred together. Presumably this proves that the cultures are contemporary. The connection with the other parts of the Carpathian basin existed also at the beginning of the neolithic period, but it became more intensive in the second half of this period. The settlements belonging to the linear pottery culture gain characteristics of the Tisza culture coming from the Great Plain ; the appearence of the Banat culture is the influence coming from still farther south. Finds showing a definite influence of the Lengyel culture were not found in the material ; the pedestalled bowls do not represent the aeneolithic later form of the Lengyel culture, but rather the variant known in the Banat culture or, which is more plausible, in the linear pottery culture. The red painting of one colour, too, may be connected rather with the Banat or Tisza cultures. All these show that the sites of mixed cultures originate contemporaneously with the Tisza culture in the north part of Transdanubia previously to the aeneolithic Lengyel culture. On the other hand, the solution may also arise that these settlements developed contemporaneously with the Lengyel culture during the aeneolithic period, but without a definite influence of the Lengyel culture. The graves of Bicske rather seem to prove the latter presumption, because the strongly formed pointed warts and the footed vessels — though we do not know their exact copies — are already typical of the aeneolithic period. A. Soproni: Un char cultuel de Budakalász. Au cours de l'année 1953, sur le territoire de la commune de Budakalász (Comitat de Pest, à 15 km au nord de Budapest) un vase en argile en forme de char à quatre roues parut au jour. Le char a été livré par la tombe N° 177 du cimetière appartenant à la civilisation de Pécel (Baden) (Pl. VII. fig. 1—2, et Pl. VIII. fig. 1—2). Jusqu'à présent nous avons mis à découvert dans ce cimetière 256 tombes de la dite civilisation, renfermant pour la plupart des squelettes recroquevillés. Le vase à char était placé de même qu'un gobelet à pied, sous un plat en argile de grandes dimensions (Pl. VI. fig. 1.). La tombe ne renfermait
