Des champs d’urnes cinéraires apparaissent en divers endroits d’Europe à partir de 1100 avant J-C. Les hommes incinèrent leurs morts. Ils enterrent les urnes de cendres dans de vastes champs funéraires utilisés pendant plusieurs siècles. Des milliers d’urnes cinéraires témoignent de cette période culturelle. L’usage se répand [...] à partir d’Europe centrale, un des centres de la culture des champs d’urnes.
