Salzwelten Salzburg

This guide to Salzwelten Salzburg asks what two-thousand-year-old human waste can tell you about the people who mined this mountain. You'll hear how salt preserved everything, including the fossilized feces of Celtic miners who worked these tunnels from around 600 BCE, and how researchers used it to reconstruct their diet and trace how food and resources moved between different groups of workers over generations. It contrasts that everyday evidence with the bronze wine jug and imported Greek drinking cup found in grand burials nearby, built to show the world what the Celts wanted seen. Listen as you walk the same corridors those miners once worked, meal by meal, shift by shift.
