Archaeologists in Central Europe<\/a> have uncovered more than 1,000 ancient artifacts ahead of railway construction, including a rare Roman-era tool used to make metal wire.<\/p>\n

The news was announced in an April press release from the Archaeological Center Olomouc (ACO), a research institution in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

The finds were made along a roughly three-quarter-mile stretch that will serve as part of a high-speed railway between Nezamyslice and Kojet\u00edn, two Czech towns in the Han\u00e1 River valley.<\/p>\n

TREASURE TROVE OF PRICELESS CELTIC GOLD AND SILVER COINS UNEARTHED AT ‘SECRET’ EUROPEAN SITE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The discoveries span from the Early Bronze Age<\/a> to the Roman era. Excavations were carried out between April and October 2025.<\/p>\n

Nikola Jandov\u00e1, a spokesperson for ACO, said in a statement that the site “ranks among exceptionally rich settlement complexes in this part of the Han\u00e1 region.”<\/p>\n

Remains from two Bronze Age cultures \u2014 the V\u011bte\u0159ov and Urnfield cultures \u2014 were found, along with evidence of the Iron Age La T\u00e8ne culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The earliest settlement dates to the V\u011bte\u0159ov culture, with archaeologists uncovering the remains of wooden homes. The V\u011bte\u0159ov and Urnfield cultures lived in the area in roughly 1800-1500 B.C. and 1300-800 B.C., respectively.<\/p>\n

“Following destructive fires, fragments of wall plaster survived as reddened fired clay, known as daub,” the statement noted.<\/p>\n

“Some fragments show smoothed surfaces with traces of external decoration, while others preserve impressions of wattle on the inner side.”<\/p>\n

Archaeologist Pavel Mo\u0161 said in a statement that the details of the houses were preserved in the daub, with some surface finishing traces still visible.<\/p>\n

Excavators also found two V\u011bte\u0159ov graves, including one containing an adult and a child, which will undergo analysis.<\/p>\n

Among the Urnfield culture remains, archaeologists unearthed four graves \u2014 as well as one with six human skulls “found placed side by side within the fill of the feature.”<\/p>\n

They also found crucible fragments and stone molds used to craft bronze objects, as well as a small assemblage of bronze artifacts, including axes, pins<\/a>, a bracelet and a knife.<\/p>\n

“These finds date to the end of the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age and indicate the presence of a specialized bronze-working workshop,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists also uncovered a lime kiln, likely used by Germanic tribes during the Roman era<\/a> for wall finishing or pottery decoration in the first to fourth centuries A.D.<\/p>\n

The most unusual artifact was a Roman drawplate used to pull and thin the metal wire, officials said.<\/p>\n

The discovery is considered rare in Central Europe.<\/p>\n

Though the drawplate is considered well-preserved, archaeologist Pavel Mo\u0161 noted that “corrosion residues are present in its perforations, and traces of drawn metal wires may be preserved.”<\/p>\n

He added, “The drawplate will be subjected to spectrometric analysis to determine the material of the wire.”<\/p>\n

The draw wire, he went on, “could have been used, for example, in the production of chain mail.”<\/p>\n

All artifacts will undergo lab analysis and preservation, with results expected to be released over time.<\/p>\n

The latest discovery<\/a> follows a similar one made by ACO archaeologists in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
