The subject of this paper is comparative advantage and specialization level analysis in international trade of primary and industrial products of countries from the Danube region. Export structures, together with comparative advantages and specialization level of countries from the Danube region have been dynamically observed. The research utilizes the Balassa (RCA) and Lafay (LFI) indexes of comparative advantage and Grubel-Lloyd’s index of intra-industrial exchange. This research has been found that the positive value of comparative advantage in the export of primary products is present in the cases of Romania and Bulgaria, and as regards the export of industrial products the same applies for: Austria, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.

Numerous finds of La Tène glass bracelets have come to light recently in south-west Slovakia. Attention has been focused on the dark blue bracelets of Haevernick Groups 3 and 2. Up to now, these bracelets were considered to belong to the very late types, including the blue specimens, with their occurrence limited to LTD. However, it seems that in the case of the blue bracelets, new groups may be defined, based on the decoration of figure-of-eight coils (Group 3b/1, 2b/1) or wavy lines (Group 3b/2, 2b/2), with a distribution in the Middle Danube region, namely in south-west Slovakia, Lower Austria and Moravia. According to find contexts as well as visual characteristics of glass and its decoration, the decorated sub-groups were manufactured in this part of Europe as early as in LTC1, or LTC1b at the latest, the undecorated sub-group 3a in LTC2. In LTD1 the production of bracelets of Groups 3 and 2, undecorated or with a wavy line, continued, but probably in other, most likely western European workshops. Chemical analysis (INAA) of ten samples from Slovakia has placed the analysed bracelets into two groups which had been previously identified in the collection of LTC1 – LTC2 glasses from Němčice in Moravia. It is significant that the blue bracelets, undecorated or with a wavy line, cannot be considered diagnostic artefacts of the LTD phase.It is not possible, at least in the Middle Danube region, to date find contexts in LTD based on their occurrence, as has been commonly the case. The identification of earlier and later specimens within Groups 3 and 2 perhaps will be possible in the future as the result of the application of more precise methods of chemical analysis.

This article is devoted to an analysis of low bowls with sharply curved wall, which are interpreted as one of the oldest type of vessels of the Linear Pottery culture. These bowls are numerous in a collection of the Brunn 2 settlement located near Vienna in Lower Austria. The typology of this group of low bowls is offered on the base of Brunn 2 materials together with low bowls of the Early Neolithic sites of the Danube region and old Linear Pottery culture. The authors can define five types of low bowls with sharply curved wall. Four of them appeared during the Early Neolithic in the Danube region and became numerous during the formative phase of the Linear Pottery culture. All types were concentrated at the sites of the oldest Linear Pottery culture in Hungary and Austria, from where during the Bina-Bicske phase the tradition of making these bowls spread up the Morava River and its tributaries to Moravia. Later during the Milanovce phase of this culture this tradition penetrated along the Danube River to the South of Germany and then it diffused along the left tributaries of the Danube to the right tributaries of the Rhine. In that time these bowls appeared at the old Linear Pottery sites of the river head of Elbe and in the Oder basin too.

The contribution focuses on evidence of secondary interferences in the tumuli of the middle Bronze Age tumulus cultures related to the burials in the central Danube region. Tumuli showing certain anomalies in theirs usually regular ground plans and/or profiles or interferences in their stone cores have been investigated in the wider territory of central Europe. We can distinguish two types of such interferences. First one is embanked material on the part of a tumulus above the secondary burial. Such tumuli appear in Buková, Čeložnica and Pitten. The second type is repeated addition of new layers above the secondary burial which caused enlargement of the tumulus. With regard to the bad condition of remains and insufficient documentation, they can be definitely proved only in Pitten. Both above mentioned types of tumulus embankment occur as early as the beginning of the middle Bronze Age in Pitten. As for the territory of Moravia and Slovakia, they can be observed in the late periods of the middle Bronze Age. Numerous analogies, mainly from the Czech Republic, suggest their frequent use in the whole territory of tumulus cultures and this habit continues in the late Bronze Age. Several burials in tumuli show planned pair deposits. Contemporarity or close chronological sequence of depositing of burials connected with adjustments of the embankment can thus represent a certain form of pair burials.

The spectacular tombs of Mušov in Moravia (CZ) and Gommern near Magdeburg in Central Germany provide a deep insight into the self-understanding and internationality of Germanic elites before, during and after the Marcomannic wars. A synopsis of grave finds from the lower Elbe area, Central Germany and the region north of the middle Danube, clearly shows that contacts visible in the archaeological record between the lower Elbe area and the empire of Vannius, later the Markomannic-Quadic centre of power in present-day Moravia and Southwest Slovakia, existed from the Augustan-Claudian period up until after the Markomannic wars. At the same time, however, it becomes clear that during the 3rd cent. A. D. a distinct new orientation of the relations of the Germanic elites was taking place: away from the route to the middle Danube in the south via the central and southern Oder region, to a new connection upstream along the river Elbe to Central and Southwest Germany.
