Terramare
The term terramare (of Latin will terra and ponds because they lived in marshy zones) indicates the first wave of settlement by the Indo-Europeans of the Italian peninsula to III. Terramares were incinerating people (several fields of funeral urns were found) of the Bronze Age. It is thought that this first Indo-European wave of settlement was at the origin of the people Latin, Falisque and sicules.
The term terramare was also used the first time by Strobel and Pigorini to indicate the small monticules remaining still today of these stations paludous, and formed by the organic rejections accumulated between the piles of soutainement of these stations.
The habitat of the populations terramare corresponds to a particular type of villages on Piloti S or palafittes known as paludous (built on pile on the marshes and the ponds) which one meets in all the plain of the Po, built according to a well defined diagram. Those of rectangular form, were built on the dry land, generally near a river, and whose ways were cut to right angle according to a well established plan do not owe anything randomly, indicating a strengthened site. These sites were especially present in the plain of Po, but also in the rest of Europe. The culture related to these sites developed with the Bronze Age, between the {{XVIIe}} and it
The villages on pile of the Emilie concern the marketing activity of the Bronze Age. These sites follow a road which crosses the the Alps in the Val Camonica to join banks of Po; there villages were built being used of deposits and starting point of the food products (the Ambre of the Baltique arrived there without doubts) along the river until the Adriatique.
The structure of these quoted lake concerns the technique of construction of the houses on Piloti S of the lakes of the Italy of north and the center. These constructions on piles driven out of ground were adapted to the establishment of permanent villages along banks of rivers prone to raw and to the rise of the level of water due to the climatic variations. The raison d'être of such constructions in zones at the risks was certainly the river trade. The population which occupied these sites was not Indo-European. The contacts due to the commercial exchanges contributed however to open it with the foreign cultural influences coming from the Central Europe and the the Mediterranean. On its decline, this same population adopts the use of the Incinération the late specific one to the cultures of Central Europe, the Civilization of the Fields of Ballot boxes”.
The disappearance of these villages is placed at.
In spite of the shift proven of a few centuries, the populations of the villages on pile contributed to the formation of the Etruscan sites villanoviens then which appear successively. The technique, remarkable, of the drainage, the dams, the drains and the sewers of the Etruscan cities could only be worked out by the inhabitants of these villages on piles which had been confronted since always with work of this kind.
