The Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture was an Early Bronze Age archaeological culture in the Central Danube Carpathian Region.

This culture occurred in parallel with the Makó-Kosihy-Čaka cultural group. The period of its development covers the entire Early Bronze Age, from 2300/2200 BC to 1700/1600 BC (calibrated years). This culture occurs throughout most of Transdanubia, stretching beyond the Sava River in the south, encompassing a large part of Serbia and South Moravia, eastern Bosnia and Montenegro, reaching as far as the Adriatic coast. It was preceded by the Vučedol culture.[1]

The end of this culture is not clear. According to N. Tasic, its decline would fall in the early stage of the development of the Encrusted Pottery culture and the Vatin culture. This is based on the presence of pottery typical of the population of the Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture in the inventories of the groups mentioned.[2]

Genetic profile

At Balatonkeresztúr-Réti-dűlő necropolis only one burial can be associated with this archaeological culture according to its 14C date (2560-2290 cal BCE); the individual buried there was lying on his back and with the knees and head on the left side, oriented with N/NE-S/SW. His Y-DNA was R1a-V2670 and his mtDNA K1a3a, the autosomal composition was 17% hunter-gatherer, 40% European farmer, and 43% steppe ancestry. Some of its phenotype traits were blond hair and blue eyes.[3]

The Vučedol territory was gradually occupied by the Somogyvár–Vinkovci population, a culture blending various elements from the central and southern Balkans; closely allied groups also appeared in the Lower Danube region and Oltenia, as well as in Transylvania and the Körös region (Glina III–Schneckenberg and Gyula–Rosia group).
