Anotations

Scope note:

Bronze Age period and culture that first developed at Únetice, near Prague in the modern Czech Republic, and spread to Bohemia, Germany, and Poland. It is characterized by trade in salt, amber, and gold, and by the development of increasingly elaborate graves, including some with barrows, that probably formed an impetus for the Tumulus period.
