Archaeologists Discover a Hoard of Bronze Age Artifacts That Was Buried More Than 3,000 Years Ago

During the excavation of a known Roman battle site in the Swiss Alps, archaeologists stumbled upon a fascinating discovery – an impressive hoard of 80 artifacts dating back to the late Bronze Age.

Among the noteworthy objects were sickles, axes, fragments of a saw, and jewelry pieces, all accompanied by numerous chunks of raw copper.

Experts believe that these artifacts were deliberately buried as an offering, as they were intentionally damaged and bent out of shape before being carefully wrapped in leather and placed inside a wooden box.

Their estimated age falls around 1200 to 1000 B.C.E., a time when the selective destruction and disposal of valuable metal objects were a prevalent cultural practice, ArtNet News reported.
