This summer marked another milestone in an ongoing archaeological excavation in northwest Bükk, Hungary, where a team of specialists is excavating the remains of an ancient village atop the Verebce-bérc mountain. The archaeologists uncovered the charred remains of buildings that were burnt down during a violent attack that brought an abrupt end to the settlement, which was flourishing in the 6th and 7th centuries BC. Additionally, a comprehensive metal detector survey of the surrounding area yielded a significant collection of metal objects: a treasure trove of over 60 bronze and iron objects, many of which appear to have been hastily buried during the siege in an effort to safeguard them from looting: this is an indication to how sudden and violent the attack likely was.
