July 2022

Archaeologists have discovered a unique clay figurine that may represent a prehistoric water goddess in Bavaria, Germany.

The figurine dates from the 8th to 5th century BC during the Iron Age, found in the vicinity of a Hallstatt period settlement on the edge of the Unkenbach lowland.

The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Western and Central European culture during the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, named for its type-site, Hallstatt, a lakeside village in the Austrian Salzkammergut southeast of Salzburg.
