It is considered a subtype of the Urnfield culture.
Gava-Holigrady culture is named after an archaeological settlement Gava in northeastern Hungary and an archaeological site Holigrady (Голігради) in Ukrainian Ternopil Oblast.
In Slovakia, the culture originated in the early 12th century BC.
Gáva people lived in settlements and hillforts that they built in the Slovakian and Transylvanian uplands.
Gava-Holigrad people are considered to be of Thracian ethnicity.[citation needed]
The Lăpuș Group is considered to be a Romanian counterpart of the Gáva-Holigrady culture.[3] It belongs to the North Romanian Suciu de Sus culture, which is part of the broader Urnfield culture.[4]
