Catalogue of metal urns discovered in Europe (14th - 2nd centuries BC)

<p>This dataset provides a list of archaeological sites that have provided metal cinerary urns. These occurrences were used for the doctoral thesis defended in December 2020, entitled "L'usage des textiles dans les pratiques fun&eacute;raires : le cas des incin&eacute;rations en urns m&eacute;tallique en Europe au Ier mill&eacute;naire av. J.-C." (The use of textiles in funerary practices: the case of cremation in metal urns in<br>Europe in the 1st millennium BC) (Paris, Sorbonne University). It represents a current state of art and needs to be supplemented and expanded by future work and research.</p> <p>This dataset also constitutes the basis of the following two articles:<br>- Desplanques E.
