Archeology at the museum

Preserved Roman well, preserved in-situ at the museum.

Several archeological excavations have taken place at the site of the museum itself. Excavations were conducted between 2000 and 2003 during renovations on the Palace (in the basement and in the inner courtyard) under the direction of the City Museum curator. These revealed many historical artifacts and remains from the Urnfield Culture, the Late Hallstatt period, the Middle and Late La Tène period, the Roman Imperial period, the Late Medieval period and the Early Modern periods. Of note were two graves of La Tène warriors that were discovered in an Early Roman in-fill deposit during the investigation in 2002. ^[3]
