Körös culture

The Körös culture/Criș culture is a Neolithic archaeological culture in Central Europe that was named after the river Körös in eastern Hungary.

The 2 variants of the river name are used for the same archaeological culture in the 2 regions.

The Criș culture survived from about 5800 to 5300 BC.

It is related to the neighboring Starčevo culture and is included within a larger grouping known as the Starčevo–Körös–Criş culture.
