Current excavations at two pre-Celtic cemeteries in Frankfurt am Main-Harheim are yielding highly significant new insights into the burial customs of the Hallstatt period. Modern excavation methods provide a glimpse into the 1st millennium BC and show us the people of that time and their living environment on the basis of their graves.The grave finds examined by Christoph Breitwieser, which include magnificent jewellery, handmade ceramic tableware and the warriors' weapons, accompanied the owners throughout their lives, all the way to the grave. Exquisite exotic costume components attest to international trade connections as far as the Mediterranean region. The anthropological report by Dipl. Biol. Erwin Hahn puts the focus on the human being. The analysis reveals the paths of life and sometimes also the paths of suffering of the buried and takes a look at the family connections between the dead.Textiles and other organic material on the iron swords were analysed by Elke Sichert M.A.. The abstract allows a look through the microscope at finely woven fabrics, feathers and plants which are preserved very rarely and only under extreme conditions.
