The presentation discusses the results of a complex re-evaluation of radiocarbon dating, settlement pattern, mortuary rituals and material culture of the Early and Middle Copper Age on the Great Hungarian Plain. Due to the new, Bayesian modelled AMS series the generally accepted typochronological system of the Early and Middle Copper Age on the Great Hungarian Plain has been collapsed. It seemed that these different ceramic styles existed partially contemporary that has far-reaching consequences on the interpretation of the Copper Age. The study focused the problem of dating, spatial differences on the Great Hungarian Plain and the analytical unit.
