… p. 354 not 4: Mondsee - culturen are centuries after red pol. culture in Cyprus. The alleged connection, by Much (Kupferzeit) Hoernes and then O-R. - Lichtenberg, is entirely unproven. In form no resemblance. The geom. patterns simple, may have arisen independently. But most important the chronological discrepancy.
