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