Pre-Cucuteni and Trypillia traditions grew from Boian, Karanovo, and Linear Pottery groups in the Carpathian region. A 2024 radiocarbon study places expansion into Moldovan and Ukrainian forest steppe at 4700-4500 BC, possibly within just 3-5 generations. River corridors cut through the Carpathian range, so it wasn't a solid barrier.
