The rediscovery of the shaman's burial place in the spa gardens of Bad Dürrenberg was only possible thanks to archaeological ingenuity and with the help of the most modern analytical methods. It is thanks to them that even traces of the old excavation of 1934 have come to light again. Which latest investigation methods were used to identify the burial pit? What insights into the appearance of the pit were gained?
These and other questions are answered by the state archaeologist Harald Meller in this episode of "Archaeology exclusive: new research on the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg".
The grave of the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg is one of the highlights in the permanent exhibition of the State Museum and a world-class find. The deceased was buried about 9,000 years ago with an overabundance of equipment underpinning her status as a shaman. On 4 May 1934, it accidentally resurfaced from the darkness of history. In the film series "Archaeology exclusive: new research on the shaman of Bad Dürrenberg", the tomb and the buried woman will be revealed their last secrets. This is achieved with the help of the state-of-the-art analysis methods and the most recent archaeological and anthropological findings.
