In the western Danubian region (the Rhine and Seine basins), the Michelsberg culture displaced its predecessor, the Rössen culture. Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean basin, several cultures (most notably Chassey in southeastern France and La Lagozza in northern Italy) converged into a functional union of which the most significant characteristic was the distribution network of honey-coloured silex. Despite the unity, the signs of conflicts are clear, as many skeletons show violent injuries. It is the time and area of Ötzi, the famous man found in the Alps. Another significant development of the period is that the Megalithic phenomenon started to spread to most of the Atlantic region, bringing agriculture to some underdeveloped regions there.
