Surprising finds: Medieval graves discovered in Kaindorf

In Kaindorf near Wildon, where a historical burial site was discovered in 2004 during preparations for the construction of an industrial park, archaeologists have now made significant discoveries again. During excavations that were carried out with a view to the planned start of a Liebherr wheel loader production facility in 2026, the scientists surprisingly came across medieval graves.

This discovery sheds new light on the region and its history. The burial sites, which date back to the Middle Ages, could provide important information about the way of life and burial rites at the time. Historians and archaeologists agree that such finds represent an enriching addition to the archaeological knowledge of the region.

The significance of the finds

The discovery of graves in an area already identified as historically significant is of interest to more than just archaeologists. These new discoveries could lead to the need to adapt plans for the construction of the production facility to ensure the preservation and research of cultural heritage. The area could therefore become a protected area for archaeological resources before construction work can begin in the future.

During previous excavations, remains from the Urnfield to Hallstatt period were found, which proves that the region was inhabited for many centuries. Archaeologists believe that these more recent finds from the Middle Ages can also contribute to research into the historical development of the area.

The information gained from the finds could not only influence future building plans, but also the understanding of the early medieval societies that lived in the area. It remains to be seen to what extent these findings will be incorporated into future planning. as reported in an article by www.kleinezeitung.at.
