Thus we have a whole chain of details from which, according to the finds,
we can deduce an evolution of culture within the three epochs of the copper
age; and the conclusions regarding the relative chronology which we have drawn
as dry facts from the location of the finds become justified and comprehensible
through the formal examination we have made of the finds themselves.
There remains only the question whether the finds furnish data for an absolute
chronology. Such data can be obtained only through the comparison of our finds
with those of other regions and countries.
In connection with the decoration of the whorls, frequent mention has been
made of Trojan parallels, but one must naturally avoid drawing conclusions from
these as regards chronological and ethnological relations. On the other hand, other
details are to be brought into consideration, since they concern the external culture
and the form of life.
