The grave goods included a sword with an iron blade and an ivory knob decorated with amber, as well as horse harness and a bronze cup. The finds were dated to the sixth century BC and show the extensive trade relations between the Lorraine region and the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean region at that time.
