Archaeological discoveries in Europe

Overview

Archaeological excavations in France and Germany have yielded significant historical findings. In the Rhône region near Lyon, researchers unearthed a circular Roman mausoleum dating from the transition between the 1st century BCE and 1st century CE. Additionally, excavations in Lyon revealed vestiges of the ancient district of Lugdunum, including a 1st-century terrace wall, a 2nd-century sewer, and evidence of a fire from approximately 120–130 CE.

In Germany, construction at Schloss Hinterglauchau uncovered a large brick structure, potentially a cellar from the late 14th or early 15th century. Meanwhile, in Paris, excavations at the Hôtel-Dieu site revealed evidence of a Gallic settlement belonging to the Parisii tribe, dated between 200 and 10 BC. Findings such as charred wood and a Gallic spearhead suggest fire damage consistent with historical accounts of Gallic settlements being burned during conflicts with Rome.
