Apennine

The archaeological record shows a remarkable uniformity of culture in the peninsula from 1800 to 1200 BC - the so-called "Apennine culture".

The Apennine culture of Latium transitioned smoothly into the Latial with no evidence of an intrusive population movement.

Apennine culture pottery is a black, burnished ware incised and decorated with spirals, meanders, dots and bands of dots.

The Apennine culture was in this theory always practiced mainly by speakers of unknown languages in the Italic branch of Indo-European, from which the historical languages later came.

The Apennine culture (also called Italian Bronze Age) is a technology complex of central and southern Italy spanning the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age proper.
