| “ | The Tumulus culture which followed the Unetice culture and from which they descended, dominated central Europe during ca. 1600 BC to 1200 BC. As the name implies, the Tumulus culture is distinguished by the practice of burying the dead beneath burial mounds, tumuli. During this period, trade contacts with the south-east remained intact and were probably expanded. The Tumulus culture flourished without any disruption of local peoples by large-scale immigration. This was to end, however, toward the close of the 2nd millennium BC, when there is evidence of wide-spread disruption which affected the "higher civilizations" to the south-east and curbed trade. | ” |
