Extract

In the June number of ANTIQUITY Mr Sinclair Hood introduced to the readers of this journal the sensational find of the so-called Neolithic inscribed tablets from Transylvania. When this find was announced for the first time [I], it made a great impression upon everybody who appreciated its significance. It was a kind of deus ex machina which seemed to solve once and for all one of the crucial issues of Central European archaeology: the absolute chronology of the Neolithic Period.

* For the classification of these bowls see [16]. A new piece of type 2 (Iža) decorated with corded triangles has recently been found in Slovakia and is being prepared for publication by Mrs V. Němejcová-Pavúková. This is the closest parallel so far to the piece found in Thessaly ([7], 27, fig. 21, 2).

• A convincing correlation of the hammer-headed pin horizon with the Central European late Corded- Ware can also be achieved through the Ukraine and Little Poland.
