Its area is delimited by the Weser in the West, the Aller in the South, and the Danish Islands in the North. It was part of the Pre-Roman Iron Age and the south Scandinavian cultures further north were closely related to this culture.The cultures of the Pre-Roman Iron Age (and its predecessor the Nordic Bronze Age) is sometimes hypothesized to be the origin of the Germanic languages.
