It is a spiral ring of gold wire unearthed in autumn 2020 from the grave of an Early Bronze Age woman. It is about 3,800 years old, according to analyses. Precious metal finds from this period are very rare in southwestern Germany. The gold probably originates from Cornwall in southwest Britain. The archaeologists say it is unusually early proof of the far-reaching trade in luxury objects of the people of that time. The excavation was led by Professor Raiko Krauss from the Institute of Prehistory and Medieval Archaeology at the University of T\u00fcbingen and Dr. J\u00f6rg Bofinger from the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg State Office for Cultural Heritage Management, based in Esslingen.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-05-unearth-oldest-gold-southwest-germany.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Researchers unearth oldest gold find in southwest Germany<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rchaeologists working in the district of T\u00fcbingen in southwest Germany have discovered the region&#8217;s earliest gold object to date.
