The Styrian-Pannonian Hallstatt Group. An introduction and brief outline

Abstract

The Styrian-Pannonian group is a characteristic representative of the eastern Hallstatt cultural circle. This term refers to the complex, multi-strata cultural phenomenon that extended across a broad region from Styria (on both the Slovenian and Austrian sides), in the west to the Kor Alps, while in the east it encompassed the Pannonian plains along the Raab/Rába, Mur/Mura, and Drau/Drava Rivers. New research presented at the symposium offered new information in terms of the settlement regions and their characteristics, as indicated by the types of settlements (in the heights or on low lying land), buildings (pit-dwellings represent a new element), and the forms of graves and their markers (e.g. tumuli with a possible grave chamber and dromos on the one hand, and on the other side graves, grave plots, and tumuli surrounded by a ditch, etc.) Despite mutual cultural characteristics, expressed primarily in religious terms, differences can also be perceived in its framework between individual regional groups.
