A Neolithic Austrian pile-dwelling culture of the Salzkammergut and Carinthia lake districts, notable for producing "Mondsee copper" (arsenical bronze) — apparently the first metallurgy in Central Europe to emulate the Balkan Vinča culture.
Superseded in the eastern Alpine foreland by later Chalcolithic/early Bronze Age lake-dwelling cultures.
Covers Alpine lake-dwelling cultures of the 4th–3rd millennium BC.
