The invaluable finds, including ceramic shards and fertile humus floor, were discovered on a distance of eight kilometers.

This reflects what has been discovered in the 33,000 square meter area west of the city center in the past few months, not only the wealth of history, but also the planned use of this area as a district for living and business.

The value of archeology

The latest fossil curiosity are not only a stroke of luck for science, but also a light on the important role of archeology. The State Office for Archeology plays a central role in this. It takes care of the recording, presentation and protection of archaeological monuments and supports builders in the integration of archaeological excavations in their planning. Excavations are usually only carried out if the memorial is no longer possible, which means that many found remains for the future, but no longer remain accessible. In addition, modern scanning techniques are used to create three -dimensional representations of the excavation areas so that the past will also become an experience for future generations.

The exciting work of the archaeologists in Saxony shows how valuable our inheritance is and how important careful planning is for the protection and presentation of these monuments. It remains to be seen how the situation in Riesa and Dresden will develop and what other secrets the earth will still reveal to us.
