The Lusatian culture was an archaeological culture of the late Bronze Age and Iron Age centered in the region of Upper Lusatia (covering parts of modern-day Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic). The culture was named after the region in which the archaeological findings were first discovered.
The Lusatian culture was characterized by the use of iron tools, pottery decorated with characteristic wavy lines, and the practice of cremation burial. In terms of social structure, it is believed that the Lusatian culture was organized into hierarchical societies, with a ruling elite controlling the means of production and trade.
The Lusatian culture is also significant for its linguistic influence on the development of modern Slavic languages. The names of many towns and cities in the region are derived from the Lusatian language.
Archaeological sites associated with the Lusatian culture include the Biskupin fortified settlement in Poland and the Lausitzring, a racetrack in eastern Germany, which is built on the site of a former Lusatian settlement.
