The burial site belonged to a woman from the Tiszapolgár culture whose hair would have been adorned with the rings.
“The gold hoard is a sensational find for the period, considering that all the gold pieces from the Carpathian Basin total around 150 pieces. Well, here there are over 160 in just one inventory,” Călin Ghemiş, the lead archaeologist of the dig, said at a press conference, according to Romanian news outlet Archaeologists identified the high-status woman based on an initial study of her teeth and overall stature, as well as a lack of weaponry buried in her grave.
“We want to find out what kind of culture the person belonged to, and also whether the rings were made of gold from the Transylvanian Archipelago,” said Gabriel Moisa, director of the Museum of Ţării Crisurilor in Oradea, Romania. “It is a phenomenal discovery. Such a treasure no longer exists in Central and Eastern Europe,” Moisa added.
