The burial site is located in a high valley above the town of Hallstatt. It is because of the discoveries made there that the Early Iron Age has also been designated the Hallstatt period. Bones and weapons were already found here in around 1600. But between 1846 and 1863 980 graves were excavated. Over the decades, further excavations followed, and the site was subjected to scientific study. The stamp features a complete plan of the burial site, along with a bronze scoop decorated with animal figures that is believed to have been used for ritual purposes.
