An Ominous Note
The "Bronze Age" reference in the previous post suggests . . .
"… another way of making the point that this aging Omega
of a culture cannot recognize or accommodate the Alpha
that is something importantly new and vital."

A Broader Context: The Urnfield Culture
"In a broader context, the subalpine Golasecca culture
is the very last expression of the Middle European
Urnfield culture of the European Bronze Age. The culture's
richest flowering was Golasecca II, in the first half of the
6th to early 5th centuries BC. It lasted until it was
overwhelmed by the Gaulish Celts in the 4th century BC
and was finally incorporated into the hegemony of the
Roman Republic."

Pattern Signature
"The site of Golasecca, where the Ticino exits from Lake Maggiore,
flourished from particularly favourable geographical circumstances
as it was quite suitable for long-distance exchanges . . . ."
