Abstract
By applying a correspondence analysis to the morphological characteristics of the early Vinča culture pottery from the Miercurea Sibiului-Petriș site and using the results as prior-estimates for the Bayesian approach, we show the time span of the Vinča layer no. II corresponds only to Vinča B phase. This is contrary to prior assertions connecting this layer to the Vinča A phase. Enlarging the territory and using the eponymous site of Belo Brdo as a comparison, we conclude that a Vinča A horizon exists in Transylvania, a horizon that corresponds to the same phase from Romanian and Serbian Banat and Middle Danube region. The Vinča B stage from Transylvania is rather different than that one from Middle Danube region, reopening the discussions about a Transylvanian aspect of the Vinča culture.
