The Early Iron Age Hallstatt C period in Northwest and Central
Europe is marked by the emergence of monumental tumuli with lavish
burials, some of which are known as chieftain's or princely graves.
This new burial rite reflects one of the most noteworthy
developments in Early Iron Age Europe: the rise of a new and
elaborate way of elite representation north of the Alps. These
sumptuous burials contain beautiful weaponry, bronze vessels and
extravagantly decorated wagons and horse-gear. They reflect
long-distance connections in material culture and elite (burial)
practices across the breadth of Northwest and Central Europe.
Research into this period, however, tends to be regionally focused
and poorly accessible to scholars from other areas - language
barriers in particular are a hindering factor. In an attempt to
overcome this, Connecting Elites and Regions brings together
scholars from several research traditions and nations who present
regional overviews and discussions of elite burials and material
culture from all over Northwest and Central Europe. In many cases
these are the first overviews available in English and together
they make regional research accessible to a wider audience. As such
this volume contributes to and hopes to stimulate research on the
Early Iron Age Hallstatt C period on a European scale.
