2,400-Year-Old Iron Age Structure Discovered Beneath German Construction Site
During construction work on a stormwater overflow basin in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, archaeologists have unearthed a remarkably preserved 2,400-year-old Iron Age structure along the banks of the Main River. The discovery, which includes massive oak beams and a dry-stone wall, offers a rare glimpse into the early La Tène period settlement history of southern Germany.
The wooden remains were first encountered by construction crews in March 2026 at a depth of nearly eight meters (26.2 feet) below ground level. Initially, due to the exceptional condition of the waterlogged oak timbers, researchers from the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (BLfD) believed the structure belonged to the early modern or modern era.
Unexpected Origins Revealed by Tree Rings
The true age of the structure was revealed after samples were analyzed at the BLfD’s dendrochronology laboratory in Thierhaupten. By examining the tree-ring patterns preserved in the oak timbers and comparing them with regional chronologies, scientists determined that the trees had been felled and used for construction during the 4th century BC. This places the building firmly within the Iron Age.
Dr. Stefanie Berg, Head of the Department of Archaeological Heritage Management at the BLfD, highlighted the rarity of the find.
“The combination of the exceptional location on the banks of the Main River, the outstanding state of preservation, the hitherto unique timber-and-stone construction, and the Iron Age dating makes this find unique,” she stated.
