Bad Camberg, Germany-euronews A Celtic wagon burial is reported to have been discovered in central Germany. Hesse state archaeologist Udo Recker said the grave, which was found during work to build the solar park, is more than 2,000 years old and belongs to the Hunsruck-Eifel culture. It contained several gold rings of varying sizes, weapons and a beaked jug made by the Etruscans of central Italy. Traces of a two-wheel wagon, including metal fittings from wheel hubs and axle caps as well as iron tire fittings, were also recovered. The presence of a wagon in the grave suggests that the deceased was a man of high status, Recker said. X-rays and CT scans show that additional artifacts remain in the tomb.
