Abstract
This article addresses the absolute chronology of the Malice culture. It presents a Bayesian modelling based on an elementary assessment of accuracy and precision of all the relevant 14C age measurements. Thanks to the preliminary qualitative evaluation, the newly built models are of higher statistical agreement than previous ones. Based on the refined models, the Early stylistic phase (Ia) of the Malice culture can be dated to around 4770-4600, the Classic one (Ib) – 4630-4440, Post-Classic one (Ic) – 4460-4390, and the Late one (II) – 4390-4290/4250 BCE. Accordingly, subphase Ia can be synchronised with: phase Polgár-Csőszhalom II, phase Lengyel I and the subphase Stichbandkeramik IVa; subphase Ib with: phases Polgár-Csőszhalom III and Proto-Tiszapolgár, the Santovka phase of the Lengyel culture as well as Stichbandkeramik IVb; Ic subphase with: the Classical phase - Tiszapolgár culture and the Lengyel II phase; phase II with: the late Tiszapolgár/earliest Bodrogkeresztúr culture and the Lengyel III phase.
