Op het zonnespoor: ontdekkingen in Tielse grond - DOCUMENTAIRE | shot of culture

Years after the start of the excavation in Medel near Tiel, where more than one million objects were found, archaeologist Cristian discovered something that would make Tiel world news… In the documentary "On the Sun's Trail: Discoveries in Tiel's Soil," Cristian relives his eureka moment. How did the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, and just how special is the discovery? But what else did archaeologists uncover during the expansion of the Medel business park near Tiel? It was quite a feat, as more than one million finds from various time periods were unearthed, including the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Roman period, and the Middle Ages. "On the Sun's Trail" focuses specifically on the discovery of the oldest solar calendar in the Netherlands and visits archaeologists, a conservator, a physical anthropologist, and the municipality of Tiel to explain the key moments, aftermath, and unique features of the project. 👉 Want to know more about the excavation in Medel near Tiel?
