The great Early Neolithic complex of south-eastern Europe (c. 6200–4500 BC) — three regional facies of one tradition that first brought farming, pottery and settled villages to the Balkans and the Carpathian Basin: Starčevo in Serbia and the central Balkans, Körös on the Great Hungarian Plain, and Criș in the valleys of western Romania.
The complex developed into the Vinča culture in its Serbian heartland and into the Linear Pottery and Tisza traditions of the Carpathian Basin as the Middle Neolithic began.
A leading synthesis of the Balkan Neolithic, opening with the Starčevo–Körös–Criș horizon.
