Archaeologists Uncover Over 1,000 Artifacts in Czech Republic Before Railway Construction
Archaeologists in Central Europe have discovered more than 1,000 ancient artifacts during excavations ahead of a railway construction project in the Czech Republic. The findings, announced by the Archaeological Center Olomouc, include a rare Roman-era tool used for making metal wire, as well as remains from the Bronze Age Věteřov and Urnfield cultures, and the Iron Age La Tène culture. The site, located between the towns of Nezamyslice and Kojetín, is considered exceptionally rich in historical artifacts. Excavations, conducted from April to October 2025, revealed wooden homes, graves, and a variety of bronze objects, indicating a specialized bronze-working workshop. The discovery is notable for its breadth, spanning from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman era.
