Esero culture
The Esero culture was an early Bronze Age (archaeological) culture in the eastern Balkans between the 31st and 28th centuries BC. It is named after an excavated settlement hill ("Tell") near the place Esero (Bulgarian Езеро, transliteration Ezero ) in the Thracian plain of Bulgaria.
The Esero culture follows - after unexplained empty finds (technically " hiatus ") - the Copper Stone Age ( Eeolithic ) cultures Karanovo VI, Gumelnița , Kodžadermen and Varna . It is roughly at the same time as the Baden culture of the northwestern Carpathian Plain and the Coţofeni culture of western Romania.
economy
It was an agricultural culture with bronze usage.
Speculative interpretation
The unexplained hiatus at the beginning could indicate a break in the previous cultures due to immigration of Kurgan people and their subsequent assimilation.
