House Urns culture

The House Urns culture (German: Hausurnenkultur) was an early Iron Age culture of the 7th century BC in central Germany, in the Region between Harz Mountains and the junction of river Saale to river Elbe.

It was the western periphery of the bronze and Iron Age Lusatian culture.

So it is considered that religious beliefs changed in that time, though the bias was not as great as in the Mediterranean region and in the area of the Hallstatt culture.

The relation to the Etruscan Villanovan culture, which had its summit about 1 ½ centuries before, is questioned.
