Hallstatt and La Tène
HALLSTATT AND LA TÈNE
Hallstatt is both a cultural tradition, beginning in the Bronze Age around 1200 b.c. and terminating in the Early Iron Age between 500 and 450 b.c., and a type site for which the tradition is named. La Tène (c. 480–15 b.c.) denotes the second period of the central and western European Iron Age, corresponding with marked changes in material culture and mortuary practice that distinguish it from the preceding Hallstatt. It is named for a type site discovered in 1857 along the northwestern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, in the Swiss Alpine lakes region.
