It seems increasingly likely that the Bronze age in Romania was not kicked off by Post-Yamnayans but a mix of Cucetenian and Cernavodan (Pre-Yamnaya IE (Anatolian?)) Groups That survived up until 1600bc. (Glina-Schneckenberg -> Verbicioara, Tei, Monteoru)
Yamnaya seems to have had extremely little impact on the Balkans Culturally. Most Cultures after Yamnaya are based on Baden and Cotofeni Some cultures might be Cernavodan (Glina), Corded ware (Füzesabony, Somogyvar), bell beaker (Periam), or non IE entirely (Wietenberg?)
@VVeltkrieger What about the dacians? They were clearly indo-european and dominated the whole Romanian land in the iron age. From what bronze age culture do you think they come from?
@BronzAgeLarper Still trying to figure that out, They must have expanded sometime in 1200bc or 1100bc with either Fluted ware from Transylvania (Gava associated) or Stamped Pottery, and then Basarabi in 800bc
