The Baden Complex (3600-2900 calBC) denotes a set of traits in the material culture that has evoked a great deal of interest in the research of Late Neolithic/Eneolithic/Chalcolithic period. It is highly relevant to our understanding of this period in Eastern Central Europe, representing a time when major changes occurred in the archaeological record, marking an important step on the way from a Neolithic to an Early Bronze Age Society. What lies behind these cultural phenomena, how do we conceptualise the "Baden Complex" and how does it interact with other archaeological complexes? These questions are addressed by the papers included in this volume. In the last years exciting new discoveries have been made and also research on dierent aspects of the Baden Complex has taken place, much of which was presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) in Cracow 2006. All papers discussed there have been included in this book. It unites a wide range of research activities from a highly international community into one volume.
