Rare 2600-year-old houses have been found in Poland – History

Last month, a rare clay ash urn shape was shown to the public, like a house discovered in 2023. The rare artifact is just the fourth house found in Poland since World War II, which is unique in design. This is a rectangular model house with nine legs on top and a circular door on one of a long side. It dates back to the early Iron Age (780-640 BCE).

The ur of the house was found in Boêepolewielkie, a site in rescue excavation at the site where the new distribution center was built. The excavation was conducted from March to the end of September, and Lidl Company hired several archaeological teams to investigate dozens of hectares of land. In May, archaeologists encountered a Cist grave made of carefully arranged multi-colored slabs. Wrapped in it is the urn.

The urn was transferred to the Archaeological Museum in Gessk for specialized conservation and research. To get a better understanding of its content, the researchers performed a CT scan. Imaging shows that since the soil is full of soil, there are several cracks and cracks that hold only its walls, floors and roof together. Scans confirmed that there are many orthopedic relics, and one person will leave more than one.

So far, analysis has confirmed that the house urn contains multiple burials. The body of an adult man, a child over the age of ten, has at least two people, one of whom is a woman. A total of nearly seven pounds of bones were excavated from the ashes.

Crematorial funerals were the norm for the eastern Pomenanus in the 7th century BC. The dead body is burned on a pile of pyrene, and once the burn is completed, all the bone fragments are removed, and all the bone fragments are placed in urns and placed in small items, usually bronze fragments, usually belonging to the dead.

Archaeologists had to rebuild Urn from scratch, creating custom foot molded replicas to replace missing footsteps. They were finally able to rearrange each element using gypsum and adhesive so that the urn can be displayed publicly.
