		Of all this cultures the Lüneburger group is probably the most direct ancestor of the Jastorf culture, some researchers believe that the Unstrut group was the first Germanic culture but that is still controversial so I will not go much further into that.
		The Funnelbeaker culture inhabited roughly the same area as the later Germanic culture, this culture also built the so called "Hunebeds", which were megalithic tombs of large stones covered with earth, the "Funnelbeaker culture" has been named after the funnel-shaped beakers they created.
		Some historians believe that the Funnelbeaker culture was an Indo-European culture that was the result of a fusion of the native northern European culture and later Indo-European influences though most historians agree that the Funnelbeaker culture was the native (Pre-Indo-European) culture of northern Europe and that the Indo-European influences started much later.

		From the Hallstatt culture, the Iron Age spreads west with the Celtic expansion from the 6th century BC.
		In Central Europe, the Iron Age is generally divided in the early Iron Age Hallstatt culture (HaC and D, 800-450) and the late Iron Age La Tène culture (beginning in 450 BC).
		Northern Germany and Denmark was dominated by the Jastorf culture, whereas the culture of the southern half of the Scandinavia was dominated by the very similar Nordic Iron Age.

		While the finds from Scandinavia are consistent with a loss of population, the southern part of the culture, the Jastorf culture, was in expansion southwards.
		The cultures of the Pre-Roman Iron Age and their predecessor the Nordic Bronze Age are sometimes hypothesized to be the origin of the Germanic languages.
		The geographical distribution of the Jastorf culture seems at least to have corresponded to the West Germanic languages.

		The Jastorf culture was characterized by its use of cremation burials in extensive urnfields and link with the practices of the Northern Bronze Age.
		Jastorf culture extended south to the fringes of the northern Hallstatt provinces, while towards the north a general congruence with the late phases of the Northern Bronze Age can be noted.
		In its mature phase, the Jastorf area proper in northern Lower Saxony (Lüneburger Heide, lower Elbe) can be contrasted with the so-called Nienburg (also Harpstedt-Nienburg) group to the west, situated along the Aller and the middle Weser, bordering the Nordwestblock separating it from the La Tène culture proper further south.

		The culture covered by this term was most likely Germanic, and south of it was the probably Celtic La Tene culture, which exerted a considerable influence.
		During the last centuries, influences from the Central European La Tène culture spread to Scandinavia from North-Western Germany and there are finds from this period from all the provinces of southern Scandinavia.
		The Jastorf culture is an Iron Age material culture in northern Europe, dated from about 600 BC to 1.

		Several tribes from this culture, such as the Ambrones and even the more northerly Cimbri were partly or largely still Celtic.

		England is similarly considered an example of assimilation, where elements of the culture of the migrating Angles, Saxons and Jutes merged with that of the indigenous Celtic speaking Britons, resulting in an English identity for the inhabitants of that land.

		The pot-covered urn culture is certainly not an “early east Germanic culture,” as Petersen called it in his otherwise valuable study of 1929 describing the graves and finds in the territory of prewar eastern Germany.
		Its influence increased during the subsequent period and signs of the Celtic culture of the third century B.C. are found in southern Poland and the western Ukraine.
		In the first century B.C., however, cemeteries of the Jastorf culture disappear; instead, eastern Pomerania sees the spread of the so-called “Oksywia complex,” distinguished in its pit-graves by inhumation and, rarely, cremation graves; a characteristic which is held by some scholars to be Gothic, by others Slavic-Venedian.

		The cultural type is determined as a segmental society which - due to the autonomy of its economic, social and political units - leads to diffuse archaeological evidence and is equated with chiefdoms.

		However, in the beginning of the Pre-Roman Iron Age, ca 600 BC, the Proto-Germanic tribes crossed the Weser River and the Aller River, and expanded the whole distance to the banks of the Rhine.
		This expansion is shown archaeologically in the form of the Jastorf culture.
		From ca 500 BC and onwards, the lower Rhine and not the Weser and the Aller would increasingly mark the border between the Celtic tribes and the Germanic tribes.

		The next significant archaeological culture in Central Europe is the Tumulus Culture (burials under mounds) that dominated the area circa 1600 BC to 1200 BC until the Urnfield peoples came to overwhelm the region (culturally or via immigration it is unknown).
		The Hallstatt Culture (dated from circa 1200 BC to 500 BC, the latter being the beginning of the Iron Age) was to a degree contemporaneous with and a successor to the Urnfield Culture.
		The material culture of these peoples, and their artistic traditions, are spectacular, one of the most characteristic features being the clasps called fibulae.

	Germanic Peoples (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Germanic peoples are descended from explorers who settled in extreme Northern Europe, and spoke a language that was a fusion of an Indo-European tongue, and the language of the Northern Megalithic culture (a culture related to the builders of Stonehenge).
		The earliest Germanic culture that archaeologists can identify as such is the so-called Jastorf culture, a cultural province of northern Europe in the early Iron Age (c.800 BCE), covering present-day Holstein, Jutland, northeast Saxony, and western Mecklenburg.
		Their culture was a spartan one; they purportedly would not partake of alcoholic beverages or any other such luxury, feeling that the mind must remain clear to be brave.

		Their language and culture are Indo-European, but how and when they arrived in Northern Europe is not clear.
		Sometimes, when pastoral and agriculture societies come in contact, the pastoral group tends to have the economic advantage (at least in the short term), and so most cultural borrowing is from pastoralist to agriculturist.
		In addition to the Indo-European influence from the east, a non-Indo-European megalithic culture from western Europe was also in the area.

		Regarding the question of ethnic origins, evidence developed by both archaeologists and linguists suggests that a people or group of peoples sharing a common material culture dwelt in northern Germany and southern Scandinavia during the late European Bronze Age (1000 BC-500 BC).
		Cultural features at that time included small, independent settlements, and an economy strongly based on the keeping of livestock.
		The southward movement was probably influenced by a deteriorating climate in Scandinavia ca 600 BC - ca 300 BC.

		The Western group would have formed in the late Jastorf culture, the Eastern group may be derived from the 1st century dialect of Gotland (see Old Gutnish), leaving southern Sweden as the original location of the Northern group.
		Their exact relation is difficult to determine from the sparse evidence of runic inscriptions, and they remained mutually intelligible throughout the Migration period, so that some individual dialects are difficult to classify.
		During the Middle Ages, the West Germanic languages were separated by the insular development of Middle English on one hand, and by the second Germanic sound shift on the continent on the other.

		The culture covered by this term was most likely
		Proto-Germanic, and south of it was the Celtic La TÃ¨ne culture, whose advanced iron-working technology exerted a considerable influence, when, around 600 BC northern people began to extract bog iron from the ore in peat bogs, a technology which they had acquired from their Central European neighbours.
		It consequently appears that the climate change played an important role in the southward expansion of the Proto-Germanic tribes into continental Europe [8].
