    Distribution area of ​​the home urn culture in Saxony-Anhalt

    The house urn culture existed in the early Iron Age in the 7th century BC in the western edge of the Lausitz culture between the Harz and the mouth of the Saale . The urns in the form of clay house models were partly buried in stone boxes, which at the time were built as foreign bodies in urn fields that had been in use for a long time.

    A burial ground of the home urn culture is located near Beierstedt in the Helmstedt district.

    A reference to the stone boxes of the simultaneous Pomeranian face urn culture is seen as clear . The reference to hut urns and stone boxes of the Italian Villanova culture , which had its peak a century and a half earlier and was a preliminary stage of the Etruscan culture, is less clear .
