With help by archaeological investigations, I will write on what we know about the wagons in Hallstatt period so far. The name of the era, Hallstatt, was derived from the name of the place where the large number of graves have been found. This area is known as salt mines. The activity of mining required the means of transportation. To export salt to outside community also required transportation.
Salt is the important necessary to live for human being.
The rich burial goods found in Hallstatt showed that this community had relationship with other outside communities, such as the Etruscans, Greeks, and north Italians, through exchange of salt into other products. The large number of graves proved the prosperity of this community. Even salt mines were located in the Alps, salt attracted people around the area and brought this community prosperity through difficult transportation. According to Barth, a part of the Hallstatt Salt Mine was violently ended by a landslide. Graves which dated in the fifth century BCE did not show the rich goods.
