700 BC - 500 BC Early Hallstatt Celtic Culture began about this time in Austria and in the south of Germany and the first Urnfields were in Catalonia and Iron swords and wagons were later found in graves in Bohemia and Southern Germany. Iron using Hallstatt warriors entered the Swiss lakes areas and created the migration of the Urnfield Culture and settlement was also confined to the south coast and was absorbed. Sterner tracts to the north and west were tread by warriors with swords and horse gear of the Hallstatt type and the Hallstatt Celtic Culture then spread into France and parts of Spain in Gaul & Albion - Briton and was a very similar Celtic culture to the Celtic La Tene culture later on. Hallstatt Culture was then under a warlike dynasty with important horse warriors found later on buried with their horse gear and there was an Iron economy then in operation in Middle Europe with the oldest found in Bohemia, Upper Austria and Bavaria. This gear was much more elaborate then that of their predecessors from the east. The iron swords and or bronze copies of them were similar to those around the Upper Adriatic especially Bosnia. Their wood built burial chambers situated under a barrow seemed to come from the east similar to the Scythians or directly from the Etruscans who also had similar ritual at that time. This type of burial had been used in Bohemia and Bavaria for some centuries previously. The Urnfield elements noted in the early Hallstatt Culture such as the wagon grave burials from the beginning of the Hallstatt period to La Tene suggested that this could be the same tribe or Royal Family. Large-scale immigration had begun with cremation and urn burials already in practice from the late Neolithic already in Albion - Briton and Ireland. In Ireland hill forts had also appeared with some never completed, which seemed to be the work of refugee communities. This similarity was one of the pointers to these people also being Celts who lived in hill forts and whose craftsmen were the first ones north of the Alps to use Iron after being introduced to the metal by the Greeks. They took up the Keltoi name from the Royal Tribe and it was adopted by those in the North Alpine cultural and linguistic province and the surrounding areas with the domination of the Hallstatt wagon grave. Hallstatt type swords also appeared in Ireland but were made of Bronze not Iron and during the late Bronze Age the principal weapon was the cut and thrust sword. There were also spears with round wooden shields that had Bronze studs and also leather shields with bronze arrow - heads being used in the Upper Danube region.
