Ewart Park Phase

The Ewart Park Phase is a period of the later Bronze Age Britain.

In common with the continental Hallstatt culture, horse harnesses and vehicle fittings were developed and links with the late Urnfield culture and Hallstatt early C are apparent.

Recently, the Ewart Park Phase, and related Atlantic phases, have come to be seen as the probable point of origin of some developments in metalwork, that then spread widely across inland continental Europe.

The types concerned include swords, winged chapes and buckets.
