What was the Slavic equivalent of the Nordic Bronze Age?
>>18127327Slavs only formed in the early middle ages, so they don't have any equivalent.

>>18127431Slavs merely expanded into the vacuum left by the migrating germanic tribes of eastern europe, that plus a deep plough design brough from china to europe by the huns allowed them to actually populate the land, hence why lands between finland and greece and hamburg to urals are mostly slavic ancestry wise
>>18127360No, both the slavic language and ethnogenesis can only be reliably traced to early middle ages. The first half of the 1st millennium AD is murky territory with absolutely no consensus among scholars. What complicates matters is that the only cultures which could possibly be associated with proto-slavs cremated their dead, so we have no way of knowing if these were slavs or any other people.
