Ezero culture

The Esero culture was an early Bronze Age ( archaeological ) culture in the eastern Balkans between the 33rd and 27th century ( according to older sources until the 25th century) BC It is named after a hill excavated settlement ( " Tell" ) near the place Esero ( bulg Езеро, transliteration ežero ) named in the Thracian plain Bulgaria.

The Esero culture follows - after unexplained between liegener Fund emptiness (fachsprachlich " hiatus " ) - the copper- stone age ( Eneolithic ) cultures Karanovo VI, Gumelniţa, Kodzadermen and Varna. It is the same time as the Baden culture of the northwestern Carpathian plain and the Cotofeni - culture - Western Romania in about.

Economy

It was an agricultural culture with bronze use.

Speculative interpretation

The unexplained hiatus at the beginning could indicate a fraction of the previous cultures through immigration of Kurganleuten and their subsequent assimilation.
