An industrial park excavation in Vaihingen, southern Germany, has revealed significant archaeological discoveries, including nine prehistoric graves, artifacts, and settlement remains. Dating back to 5,000 B.C. through the Iron Age, the finds encompass burial sites from the Neolithic and La Tene periods. Notable finds include a Neolithic male skeleton with a polished axe and remains of a woman and girl found in a pit. Their contrasting burial circumstances raise intriguing questions, with notable jewelry artifacts shedding light on cultural practices from ancient times.
The very first find was a Neolithic burial, the remains of an adult male in a crouched posture found with a beautiful polished stone axe.
A second burial unearthed involved a woman and a girl, not laid to rest respectfully, but rather tossed in a pit, raising various speculative theories.
