******GK: Non-calibrated, as far as I can tell. Thus,
the "hayday" of Serednodniprovska is dated ca.
2200-1600 BC*****

******GK: Interestingly, Sveshnikov is the author of
the paragraphs dealing with the various western CW
groups... At the end he gives dates applicable to the
whole western CW complex ("end of IIIrd mill. BC"] but
his comparisons and synchronizations with neighbouring
cultures (esp. pre-Sofiivka Late Trypilia and Funnel
Beaker), are in clear conflict with this chronology.
The section on Serednodniprovska was written by S. S.
Berezanska.*****
