Bronze Age hoard with heavy gold found in Romania

By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on May 29, 2026 / comment : 0

A Bronze Age hoard with three heavy gold necklaces has been discovered near the town of Urlați, northeast of Bucharest, Romania. The three necklaces have a combined weight of more than 300 grams, that’s a hair under 11 ounces. This is an exceptional find for the country and may upend current scholarship on the chronology of the Romanian Bronze Age.

The hoard was found by an authorized metal detectorist on a remote hill in the Marginea Pădurii area. He dug down 10 inches and found an Iron Age ornament shaped like chariot wheel with a bird on it. Two more wheels were found flanking that one, and three massive gold spiral bangles overlapped the wheels. Two bronze axes and a bronze arm bring or bracelet were also in the grouping.

The arrangement of the hoard suggests that the artifacts were not lost casually. The gold collars seem to have been deliberately rolled and deposited in a small space. The three iron wheels appear to have framed or protected the group, while a bronze bracelet lay at the bottom of the pit. Later examination found that the gold spirals were not in fact bracelets, but rather large neck rings coiled up tightly to fit them into a small space, likely a box that disintegrated over the millennia. The position the pieces were found in confirms that they were once boxed.

One of the gold necklaces bears stamped decoration similar to patterns seen on Bronze Age ceramics. The style of the other pieces recalls forms known from silver objects belonging to different periods. This mixture of materials, forms and decorative traditions is one reason the hoard has caused such interest.

The small axes and iron wheels add another layer to the puzzle. Their presence beside the gold ornaments may indicate symbolic meaning, ritual practice, elite status, or a carefully hidden personal or community treasure.

Archaeologists are now considering two main possibilities. The hoard may have been a votive deposit, placed intentionally in a meaningful location as part of a ritual act. Another possibility is that it was hidden during a moment of danger, perhaps by a small prehistoric community trying to protect its wealth from conflict or displacement.

The finder reported his discover to the Prahova County Department of Culture as required by law, benefiting from the treasure law that grants the finder 45% of assessed value. The objects were transferred to the Prahova Archaeological Museum where experts are currently analyzing their composition and decoration. They are hoping to find out where the gold was mined and worked, as if they came from far away, it’s evidence of a wide network of trade across the Carpathian mountain range.

Dating the artifacts has proved challenging as they could range from the late Bronze Age through to the beginning of the Iron Age. Archaeologists plan to return to the hill for further excavation. The metal detectorist saw no signs of a prehistoric settlement, burial or cult sanctuary at the site that might explain why the hoard was buried there.

Intertwined bodies found in ancient grain silo in Dijon

By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on May 28, 2026 / comment : 0

The intertwined skeletons of two individuals have been discovered in a grain silo from the early 5th century B.C. in Dijon, France. It is the first discovery of its kind of the Dijon area.

Archaeologists from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) excavated the site in the Saint-Apollinaire neighborhood last summer, unearthing the remains of a small rural settlement from the 5th century B.C. The settlement contained several storage silos and a water well.

Human remains were found in only one of the silos, and their deposition was intentional and complex. The first individual was placed on their back with the lower limbs crossed, knees out, like they were sitting cross-legged. The right forearm was on the ribs; the left arm extended away from the body. The second individual was placed against the curved edge of the silo against their back and right side. The skeleton is tightly curled up, with the arms in front of the chest and hands. The right leg is raised, knee against the left elbow, and the left leg is sharply bent under the thigh.

These two individuals are interlocked at the lower limbs and feet. The absence of disturbances in the position of the lower skeleton and of sedimentary deposition between the individuals indicates a deliberate organization of the body assembly, the deposition of which was necessarily synchronous.

This clearly demonstrates an intention to link them. The silo was not sealed immediately after the burial of the bodies. It remained accessible for at least two operations: the removal of the second individual’s skull and the subsequent deposition, at a shallower depth than the skeletons, of a skull without a mandible.

The skeletons were placed on a layer of charred grains, legumes and nuts. Analysis of the remains identified the ingredients as barley, wheat, einkorn, lentils, vetch, acorns and hazelnuts. The cereals were typical of what would have been kept in the silo. The legumes would have been collected from the surrounding area. They were accompanied by more exotic produce — grape seeds, wild apple seeds, sloe berries — that suggest there was an offering left, rather than just the random remains of the content of the silo.

Massive Kasta Tumulus restored

By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on May 27, 2026 / comment : 0

The Kasta Tumulus, the largest known burial monument from ancient Macedonia, is now visible along its entire circumference and height for the first time. Restorers have exposed the full peribolos, the marble enclosure wall that surrounds the tomb, a perimeter 497 meters (1631 feet) long. Areas of loss on the southern side of the peribolos were filled with ancient blocks scattered around the immediate vicinity of the tomb and a small number of custom-made artificial stones.

Inside the monument, the structure has been stabilized and strengthened with new metal supports and the old, clunky metal supports and pillars removed making the interior entirely visible. Future repairs are planned that will reinstall the monumental ancient Macedonian marble door to the burial chamber, and the wings and heads broken off the sphinxes.

The tomb was excavated in 2014 amid much excitement due to its size and sculptural decoration, but proved to have been extensively ransacked during antiquity and was bereft of grave goods. It was dated to the last quarter of the 4th century BC and the battered, scattered skeletal remains of five people were found inside – a woman aged over 60, two men aged 35-40, a newborn baby and an adult who had been cremated.

The late 4th century B.C. was the era of Alexander the Great, and the sheer enormity of the tomb’s scale suggests there was a connection to him or the royal family. One hypothesis is that it was the tomb of Hephaestion, Alexander’s closest friend and general who died in Persia in 324 B.C., although no direct evidence supporting the attribution has been discovered.

Last fall, the Ministry of Culture launched the AmphiPoly project to scientifically document, scan and analyze the Kasta Tumulus with the aim of creating an accurate digital reconstruction of the monumental tomb. Archaeometric analyses, high-resolution 3D scanning, photogrammetry and data visualization applications will be used by researchers in collaboration with visual artists to recreate the original colors and iconography of the painted marble friezes and mosaic, even elements that are no longer visible or identifiable to the naked eye today. Ultra-high-resolution imaging an spectroscopic analyses of art in other Macedonian tombs, including the famous abduction of Persephone from Tomb I at Aigai, will provide additional information to help fill in the blanks.

With the data they collect, researchers plan to create virtual tours and interactive virtual reality models for museum visitors to experience the tumulus as it was. The digital reconstructions will also be used to create physical replicas of features like the façade with the sphinxes, the pedestal with the lion and the Persephone pebble mosaic. The AmphiPoly research will also aid in the long-term protection and preservation of this unique monument of exceptional archaeological significance.

The project will run concurrently with the restoration of the tomb and construction of the new visitor’s center and museum on the grounds. Members of the public will only be allowed inside the tumulus eight people at a time for no more than 20 minutes, so a visitor’s center where people can wait safely for the next tour is prudent. The Kasta Tumulus and new facility are scheduled to open in early 2028.
