| Short description: |
With the coming of the Iron Age the history of Europe/The Hallstatt Period changes decisively. We see the emergence of new Central European aristocracies involved in a dynamic exchange with the Mediterranian world |
| Full description: |
The Hallstatt Period in Central Europe between 800 and 450 BCE sees the emergence of new aristocracies using funerary ostentation to legitimize their social status. In the 8th and seventh centuries, grave mounds containing chambers furnished with swords, wagons and large drinking sets characterize an innovative male Elite emerging in South Central Europe. after the collapse of the Urnfield Period social system. In the late seventh to early fifth centuries BCE ostentatious graves, which also include internments of Elite women, show the status of the deceased by including extravagant costume accessories and Mediterranean imports in their assemblages. This is a time of the emergence of the so-called princely seats, proto-urban centres inspired by Mediterranian models. In a broad survey which includes Transdanubia and Silesia in the East Burgundy in the west. The Po basin in the south and the Rhineland in the North. This overview will include dealing with famous cemetery complexes like Sopron, Kleinklein, Wehringen and Mindelheim as well as ostentatious tombs like Kappel, Hohemichele, Hochdorf and Vix. But also the „Princely seats” such as the Heuneburg, Hohen Asperg Mt. Lassois.
