Out of the Late Bronze Age Urnfield culture of the 12th century BC developed the Early Iron Age Hallstatt culture of Central Europe from the 8th to 6th centuries BC, which was followed by the La Tène culture of Central Europe (450 BC to 1st century BC).
The Urnfield culture gave rise to the Hallstatt culture in Central Europe between the 12th and 6th centuries BC, which was subsequently replaced by the La Tène culture in Central Europe from approximately 450 BC to the 1st century BC.
