Waldalgesheim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The wine-growing town of Waldalgesheim, in the landkreiz Mainz-Bingen, in the Rhineland of Germany is widely known as the site of a late 4th century BCE chariot burial that defines a stage in the La Tène culture, that is generally known as Waldalgesheim style. The lack of weapons recovered from the tomb and the fine gold torc, bracelets and anklets, have led archaeologists to infer that the deceased was a woman. The finds from this elite burial, stumbled upon by a farmer in 1869, are conserved in the Rheinische Landesmuseum, Bonn.
