In 2022, an archaeological excavation in the small town of Creuzier-le-Neuf, just north of Vichy, France, revealed an ancient Celtic necropolis. After three years of meticulous conservation work, experts have now announced what they found at the site.
The necropolis comprised an area of roughly 7,000 square feet and contained more than 100 graves, though none of the bodies remained due to the acidic soil. The site itself was dated to around 2,300 years ago. Despite the lack of bodies, however, numerous ancient artifacts survived, including pottery, jewelry, metal ornaments, and cremation urns.
