The appearance of Celts in Transylvania can be traced to the later La Tène period (c. 4th century BC).Excavation of the great La Tène necropolis at Apahida, Cluj County, by at the turn of the 20th century revealed the first evidence of Celtic culture in Romania. The 3rd–2nd century BC site is remarkable for its cremation burials and chiefly wheel-made funeral vessels.
