Bükk culture

Bükk culture may have belonged to a dense pocket of Cro-Magnon type people inhabiting the Bükk mountains of Hungary and the upper Tisza and its tributaries. The surrounding Neolithic was mainly of a more gracile Mediterranean type, with a Cro-Magnon admixture as another possibility. As to whether the Cro-Magnons were a remnant squeezed into this pocket, there is no sign of conflict there and the Cro-Magnons were doing rather well in the obsidian trade. They were, so to speak, the wealthy men of the European Neolithic.
