The Cruceni-Belegis culture is part of the south-east European Urnfield culture, with a distribution similar to the preceding Vatina group in Oltenia, Banat and eastern Hungary. In terms of relative chronology, it is situated between the Middle Bronze Age Vatina culture and the Early Iron Age Gornea-Kalakaca culture. The absolute chronology places the group between the fifteenth and eleventh centuries BC (Szentmiklosi 2009).
