The remains of the Iron Age from the Neolithic Age to southern Germany

Nine prehistoric graves, settlement remains and hundreds of artifacts were found in the site of a new industrial park in Vaihingen, southern Germany. During the Iron Age, the new date range for discoveries was 5,000 km (800-450 BCE).

The first historical reference to Vaihingen dates back to the 8th century, but its location on the Enz River dates back to at least 7,000 years. The site used for development is in areas where the traces of the Neolithic linear pottery culture settlement were discovered. (The linear pottery was the first to cultivate and raise livestock in what is now the state of Baden Waltenberg, Germany.) The State Monument Conservation Office, commissioned by the Stuttgart Regional Council (LAD), was hired to recover any remains before construction.

The first discovery was a Neolithic funeral. Starting from the late Neolithic period (2,800-2,500 BCE), the skeletal remains of an adult male in a squatting position were found. Although the cause of death has not been determined, there is no evidence of violent death and the man is respected.

The second funeral found in the field showed a very different situation. Later, it dates back to the La Tène period (about 400 B.C.) and contains the remains of a woman and a girl that did not rest as peacefully as thrown in a pit.

The child lies on the woman’s legs with his limbs stretched out. Even the two experts can only speculate on what might happen to these two experts. One theory proposed by Felicitas Schmitt is: “Maybe they are suffocated by fermentation gases that occur during the supply of the mine.” What’s amazing is that both wear Celtic-era jewelry. The girl wore two bronze bracelets, a woman’s necklace and blue glass beads on the barbed wire. These beads could have been easily made thousands of years ago – as long as one person has the necessary knowledge. That is, from a mixture of silicon, quartz and alkali, sodium carbonate or potassium salts and lime, they are fused together.

In addition to the grave, the rear holes of the long Neolithic houses were also found, reaching 20 meters (66 feet). Another notable discovery is the rare clay and stone cooking pits that archaeologists believe are used to cook meat (800-450 B.C.).

Over 128 working days, excavations found 1,100 discoveries, and abnormal discovery density was found on fields of this size. Now, these materials are being cleaned, conservative and researched. The bones will be radiocarbon and will be checked for age, gender and health markers.
