By analysing the finds of the southern and northern groups according to their cultures, the following results were given in the course of the treatment: 1. In the first half of the Middle Bronze Age — cca between 1650—1500 В. С — mainly the southern group of the incrusted pottery culture in Transdanubia entered and maintained relations with the agricultural civilization of the regions of river Tisza. The developed contact toward the Szőreg—Gyulavarsánd—Hatvan cultures took in all certainty an important share in the general connections of both regional units, these incrusted, decorated ceramics very fitting to examination, may be only a certain mark of which. On the basis of our finds, the population of the Nort-Transdanubian group in this time, starting above all from the Veszprém Basin would have had contacts only with the neighbouring Vatya culture.

72-78 (Fig. 2.) 2. The role of the Nort-Transdanubian group increased essentially in the history of the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin, during the second half of the Middle Bronze Age. On the other hand it is obvious that the earlier South-Transdanubian relations ceased entirely till this time, behind this may lie the cultural rearrangement of the recepting country. (The ceasing of the Hatvan culture, the extension of Vatya culture toward North, the interruption of contacts with the people of Szőreg and Gyulavarsánd.) 3. According to the tansformed circumstances, the relations of the North-Transdanubian group extended to the culture of Magyarád and Füzesabony for a short time. The south-eastward movement of the series of great historical events envolving the end for the Middle Bronze Age were pointed out merely as suffering participants of the events, by the occurance of incrusted finds in the region of river Tisza and in the South of the Great Hungarian Plain. In consequence of the offensive of the Magyarád culture from. North, the population of the Esztergom region escaped by the help of Vatya people southward along the riverside of Sió. It looks to be a certainty just on the basis of the young Vatya sites in the South of the Great Hungarian Plain apparing in conjunction with incrusted ceramics thai under the direct or indirect influence of this historical event, also the Vatya culture abondoned its original regions. Following the displacement of the finds — by the help of the chronological data of the population preserving this culture — the beginning of the series of manysided events starting from North-Transdanubia, may be fixed in all probability in the first half of the Reinecke BB 1 period. The appearance of the people with classical tumular tombs in the region between the rivers Danube and Tisza brought this period heavy with inner disturbances to an end at the beginning of the RBB 2 period.
