The Elp culture (c. 1800—800 BCE) s a Bronze Age archaeological culture of the Netherlands having earthenware pottery of low quality known as "Kümmerkeramik" (also "Grobkeramik") as a marker.
The initial phase is characterized by tumuli (1800–1200 BCE), strongly tied to contemporary tumuli in Northern Germany and Scandinavia, and apparently related to the Tumulus culture (1600–1200 BCE) in Central Europe.
This phase is followed by a subsequent change featuring Urnfield (cremation) burial customs (1200–800 BCE).
