NHM Vienna Archaeologists Discover Earlier Traces of Settlements of Early Farming Communities in Hallstatt

During excavation work in Hallstatt (on the property of the Kocsar-Riezinger family in the Seestraße), archaeological layers of scientific importance were uncovered: Medieval terracing walls, a burnt layer with coins, bricks and fragments of vessels of the Roman period, as well as up to one meter thick layers from the Latène period (Late Iron Age, c 450-15 BC). Around 1,000 artefacts from different epochs have recently been recovered.

The results will be presented to the public on the 12th August 2025 at the NHM Wien. More information in the press release here. Press Release
