What do we know of Celtic society during the Urnfield Culture period?

There is increasing evidence of life during the Urnfield Culture period (c.1300-750 BCE). People spoke Celtic languages, had distinctive burial and settlement practices that suggests tribal groupings and warfare. We have evidence of weaponry, housing, trade, agriculture and metallurgy. From its homeland in central Europe the cultural grouping expanded to the north and west. This source-based activity is designed for students of the NSW Ancient History Syllabus.
