Wietenberg culture

The Wietenberg culture was a Middle Bronze Age archeological culture in central Romania (Transylvania) that roughly dates to 2200–1600/1500 BCE.

Its name was coined after the eponymic Wietenberg Hill near Sighișoara.

Burial sites contain bronze battle axes and maces with stone heads.

Pottery consists of amphorae with spiral and meandric ornament.
