Vatya culture

The Vatya culture was an archaeological culture of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (ca.

2000-1400 BC), located in the central Danube basin in Hungary.

[2] It is primarily known for its fortified settlements, cremation burial sites, and bronze production.

[4] Százhalombatta-Földvár, situated along the Danube River in Hungary, was a significant fortified settlement of the Vatya culture, with occupation layers reaching up to 6 meters deep.

[5] Genetic analysis of six individuals from the Százhalombatta-Földvár and Erd sites revealed Y-DNA haplogroup I in one individual, with two others belonging to the derived clades I2a2a1 and I2a2a1a2a.
