A new urban space should be built in place of an abandoned playground on Halenárska street in Trnava.
Archaeologists looked at the land before the construction, leading to some surprising discoveries according to head archaeologist Andrej Žitňan. The team found traces of the Celtic settlement from the Lathenian era.
Several fragments of Celtic ceramics made on a potter’s wheel were discovered.
“Such a settlement was not confirmed in Trnava until now,” he said, as quoted by the TASR newswire.

Through their research, archaeologists have captured objects from the Neolithic through the middle-ages including the Gothic Age. They have also researched Renaissance and Baroque buildings, along with the 18th, 19th and 20th-century reconstructions of buildings, Žitňan said.
Inhabitants should be able to use the park near the synagogue in the second half of 2021.
