PHOTOS, VIDEO: Thousands of years old treasure found near Kecskemét

Archaeologists of the Katona József Museum in Kecskemét are carrying out test excavations over 800 square metres, and have already made exciting discoveries at a depth of 40 centimetres.

During the excavation, archaeologists found settlements from three different periods, a Bronze Age bracelet and a skeleton between Kecskemét and Hetényegyháza – MTI reported quoting archaeologist András Kristóf Fazekas, head of the excavation.

The settlements discovered

One of the settlements dates back to the era of the Árpád dynasty (9th-10th centuries). Archaeologists excavating the site found traces of pits, ditches and houses with floors from this period.

Another excavated settlement dates back to the ancient times. This settlement was inhabited by the Sarmatians. Among the remains, archaeologists have identified objects similar to those found in the settlement from the Árpád-era.

The remains of the third settlement date back to the Bronze Age. Here they found a ditch that was probably dug during the Trojan War that took place in present-day Türkiye.
