Archaeologists have discovered nine hundred metallic objects from six different hoards buried on Somlo Hill in north-west Hungary. The excavated items include jewelry, military decorations, weapons and tools. The unearthed artifacts are believed to be ranging from 3400 years old to 2900 years old.
Somlo Hill region is famous for vineyards and wineries. The region has been recognized as an important archaeological region after farmers started unearthing ancient artifacts in 1800s.
Some of the artifacts were contained inside ceramic vessels which shows that they were deliberately buried. The identity of the people who lived in the region has not been clearly established. However, the quality of artifacts suggests that the region might have been a center of a clan-based society.
The findings were published in the research journal Antiquity.
