This volume contains nearly 40 contributions delivered at the East Hallstatt conference held at Sopron in 1994. The leading themes of the conference included the transition from the late Bronze age Urnfield culture through Hallstatt to the early La Tene period, the character of the inner-Alpine Hallstatt culture, the question of boundaries or transitions between the western and eastern Hallstatt groups, and the presentation of more exact chronologies. This volume reflects the rapidly changing research situation and the notable advances made in this field. English, German, and Italian text.
