The paper compares the time position of graves with typologically relevant metals for the end of the Early and the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age in Moravia with events in central Europe based on radiocarbon statistic models. The aim is to circumvent complex culture-historical schemes, which make it nearly impossible to compare concurrent events at the turn of the two recognised periods of the Bronze Age and to include archaeological sources in Moravia in the broader issue of the development of central Europe. In the conclusion, we comment on the dating of the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age and the relationship of defined cultural phenomena.
