The civilization of Canegrate comes made to go back to the 1200 a.C. and is classified between those to the end of the Medium Bronze and to the beginning of the Recent Bronze.  The more important information on purpose of the culture of Canegrate come from the necropoli omonima.  The situated one uncovered in 1926 and was dug in years ' 50.  The funerario ritual, to cremation, is similar to that one of the Scamozzina civilization (situated in the zone of Monza), but if of discosta for various particular. 

The tombe found again are of the type to fossa simple, like to the Scamozzina, or to fossa covered of slabs of stone or pebbles.  The urn is generally lacking in the ciotola-cover, and, to times, lastrina of stone is sluice from one or, sometimes, placed turned over in the land. 

Contrarily to the Scamozzina, the urn contained also the rests more individuals.  The placed bronze objects with to ashes (collars, spilloni, rings, you arm) do not represent the offered ones to the defunct one, but they are the objects that the same one wore at the moment of the cremation;  the reperti, in fact, they are it deforms to you and it alters to you from the thermal action of the rogo funeral.
The use to place more individuals in the same urn renders difficult to distinguish the characteristic objects of equipment of every sex;  perhaps the system of closing of the dresses is indicative, with the use of the spillone single for the men and of the brace of spilloni for the women. 
Regarding the Scamozzina the crews are less frequent and the use of sword and dagger seems replaced from nozzle and knife.

The dimensions of the necropoli, regarding the other similari, are of decidedly greater dimensions:  it is estimated that the necropoli had to comprise 200 tombe di.le which, several at least, more depositions.
The analysis of the reperti has demonstrated that approximately 60% of the urns they contained ashes of adults and 40% of preadults or children. 

The ceramics of the culture of Canegrate is much similar one to that one in use in the same period to North of the Alps (Provenza, Savoia, Isère, Swiss Vallese, Group Reno-Switzerland-France orients them).  Since for the archaeologist the ceramics is the fundamental pointer in order to recognize the relationships between various cultures, the analogies found between vasellame of Canegrate and the that one transalpino, ago to think that coming from member from the North of the Alps is one.  In all probability a linguistica continuity existed also and ethnic between the ancient population of Canegrate and the groups it allocates to you in the same area during the age of the iron.
