Apennine culture

Apennine Culture refers to a prehistoric society that existed in the Italian peninsula during the final stages of the Bronze Age, around 1600 to 1000 BCE. It is characterized by distinctive pottery, metalworking, and the presence of pastoral and agricultural practices. The culture is named after the Apennine Mountains, where significant archaeological findings have been made. The Apennine people are believed to have lived in small, mobile communities, engaging in trade and demonstrating early social organization. This culture laid important groundwork for the subsequent Etruscan and Roman civilizations that emerged in Italy.
