Episode 26 - The Vix Krater and La Tène Site Visit

Into the Dust Archaeology

In this episode, we examine an amazing remnant of the "Celtic" period in Europe - the largest booze bucket of antiquity, the Vix Krater. Found in northeastern France, it belonged to a powerful female ruler or holy woman.
We also do a site visit to La Tène in Switzerland, where we encounter an incredible archaeological treasure trove encompassing the full range of historical periods, from the paleolithic to the modern times. Though the site gives its name for the entire second half of the Celtic era, there is so much more to be uncovered in the incredible Laténium museum.
