Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the absolute chronology of the Precucuteni and Cucuteni cultures through the Bayesian modelling of 14C data. The available data was ordered in cultural models and, where possible, in stratigraphic models. The temporal limits were extracted within these models for each of the stratigraphic units from which the analysed samples were collected. The limits established by this method allowed for a more accurate chronology of the different layers of the Precucuteni and Cucuteni sites in Romania and have created a solid starting point for the correspondence analysis of the ceramic belonging to these cultures.
