Excavations confirmed that the group of burial mounds in the Gießübel/Talhau area was apparently built in the late Iron Age on the remains of a recently abandoned settlement, which in turn can be regarded as an outlying settlement of Heuneburg, 400 meters away. This means that the entire settlement area in the Heuneburg area is significantly larger than originally assumed.
Unfortunately, during the excavations it was discovered that grave robbers had already stolen most of the treasures.
