The Early Iron Age sees the disappearance of the steppe influence (Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni) and the spread eastwards of the early Hallstatt channelled pottery groups, closely connected to the Urnfield groups further west. A large northern block, represented by the Gáva-Holihrady culture, extends from eastern Hungary through the whole of Transylvania to Moldova. . Fokkens . Harry.
