The excavators think the safety helmet is connected to the La Tu00e8ne lifestyle of European Celts that lived in the course of the Late Iron Grow Older. The lifestyle, which dates to between the fourth to 3rd centuries BCE, originated in the course of the mid-5th century BCE, when the Celts entered into contact with Etruscan as well as Greek peoples that took a trip north coming from south of the Andes. La Tu00e8ne existed for hundreds of years and also grew with a number of stages prior to eliminating just before the starting point of the 1st millennium BCE, when the Roman took command of the Celts' territory.The lifestyle's name emerges coming from La Tu00e8ne on Lake Neuchu00e2tel in Switzerland, where the initial linked objects were actually dug up in the late 19th century.
