Wietenberg culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wietenberg culture was a Bronze Age archeological culture in Central Transylvania. Represented a local variant of Usatovo culture and was replaced by Noua culture. Its name was coined after the eponymic Wietenberg Hill near Sighișoara.
People of this culture traded with Mycenaeans. Burial sites contain bronze battle axes and maces with stone heads. Pottery consists of amphorae with spiral and meandric ornament.
By 1964 about 200 settlements of this culture were discovered.
