Arras culture

c. 400 BCE – 1st century CE · 1st century BCE

The Arras culture is an Iron Age culture of East Yorkshire in England, from about the 4th century BCE to the Roman conquest, named after a cemetery at Arras near Market Weighton. It is marked by burials under small square barrows, some containing dismantled two-wheeled vehicles, as at Wetwang and Garton Slack. The likeness of these rites to those of northern Gaul has fuelled debate over migration, and the culture is linked to the Parisi of Roman sources.
