Remedello culture
The Remedello culture is an archaeological culture of the Italian Copper Age (3rd millennium BC) in Northern Italy , named after the burial ground near Remedello , Remedello Sotto , 25 km southeast of Brescia . The Remedello culture, which is closely linked to the bell -beaker culture, had its main distribution area in Emilia-Romagna , Lombardy , Tuscany and Veneto . Stool skeletons with additions made of copper, ceramics and steatite beads have been found in over 100 graves . The arrowhead in the glacier mummy Ötzi is just as characteristic of the Remedello culture as the statue menhir from Laces and daggers .
chronology
Italian scientists divide the Remedello culture into two sections:
- Remedello I: 3400 [3] / 3200 BC - 2800 BC (earlier Copper Age);
- Remedello II: 2900 [3] / 2800 BC - 2400 BC (developed Copper Age).
After that, some remains were found dating back to the Bronze and even the Iron Ages.
