The Tollense valley has yielded a huge number of skeletal parts from humans and horses in addition to ordinary weapons, notably wooden clubs and arrowheads of flint and bronze. In addition, quite a large number of objects of bronze, tin and gold have been retrieved from the river area; most finds and radiocarbon datings concentrating around 1200 BCE when the Urnfield culture became established all over Europe. One of the excavators Dr Detlef Janzen (state archaeologist, Landesamt für Kultur und Denkmalpflege Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)will present the multiplicity of new results.

The lecture takes place on Thursday, April 18th at 16.00-18.00 at Campus Moesgård, Auditorium 5.

All interested are welcome.
