Summary/Abstract: In this study we specified some data on the Sălcuţa IV-Herculane II-III-Cheile Turzii cultural horizon, starting from our own research from Cheile Turzii, but also looking at other similar findings. We analyzed the terms used in the literature, as well as the relative and absolute chronological data. We have specified the levels inwhich the Sălcuţa type materials appear at Peştera Ungurească and we have formulated more hypotheses regarding the penetration of these elements in Transylvania, as well as its contribution to birth of Bodrogkeresztúr – Toarte Pastilate/Knobbed-handles, along with other elements (Tiszapolgár). As argumentswe used certain ceramic shapes and the manner of decorating it. The mentioned cultures were also attracted bythe copper and gold resources. We pointed out several items related to findings from Peştera Ungurească, whereis the only workshop to process gold jewelry (but also from other materials) related to Bodrogkeresztúr – ToartePastilate/Knobbed-handles.
