"The most significant find was discovered during construction of one of the wind turbine platforms. Objects of bronze and amber were found close together, leading to the excavation of a hoard of Bronze Age jewelry dating from around 1500 to 1300 BC."
"Important finds include two very well-preserved house foundations from the Linear Pottery culture dating to the mid-6th millennium B.C., which will provide new insights into the earliest settlements in the region."
"The Roman period was well-represented with finds including wheel-thrown pottery, skeletal remains of dogs buried for ritual purposes, and an exceptional intact three-layered bone comb from the 4th/5th century A.D."
During the construction of wind turbines near Wolfenbuttel, Germany, a hoard of Bronze Age jewelry was discovered, along with 412 significant archaeological features. Archaeologists supervised the site, leading to the unearthing of well-preserved house foundations from the Linear Pottery culture and various artifacts from the Roman period. The jewelry hoard, dating from 1500 to 1300 BC, is the first of its kind found in the northern Harz foothills since 1967, providing valuable insights into early settlements and burial practices in the region.
