Archaeologist reconstructing fragmented Celtic pot

Celtic pot reconstruction. Archaeologist reconstr- ucting a fragmented bronze Celtic pot. There is a microscope and an X-ray of the pot before excavation (upper left). The pot, in a grave at Glauberg near Frankfurt in Germany, was crushed as the grave collapsed. Also in the grave of the druid nobleman were gold items that have shown that the Celts were better goldsmiths than their Roman contemporaries. The buried man has been named the Glauberg Giant due to his size. The Celts dominated western and central Europe during the first millennium B.C.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the meticulous work of an archaeologist as they reconstruct a fragmented Celtic pot. The bronze pot, discovered in a grave at Glauberg near Frankfurt in Germany, suffered damage when the grave collapsed. With utmost precision and expertise, the archaeologist carefully pieces together each fragment to restore its former glory. The scene is set in the Glauberg excavation laboratories at the State Department of Archaeology in Wiesbaden, Germany. A microscope stands prominently on the table, aiding in magnifying even the tiniest details of this ancient artifact. An X-ray image of the pot before excavation hangs above, serving as a reminder of its original form. Interestingly, within this same burial site lay gold items that have astounded researchers by showcasing superior craftsmanship compared to their Roman contemporaries. This discovery sheds light on just how skilled and advanced Celtic goldsmiths were during their dominance over western and central Europe throughout the first millennium B. C. The buried man himself has been dubbed "the Glauberg Giant" due to his remarkable size. His resting place has become a treasure trove for archaeologists seeking insights into Celtic culture and history. This awe-inspiring photograph captures not only an archaeological process but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding quest for knowledge about our past civilizations.
