Iron Age burials have been found over a large area around the Salt Mine at Dürrnberg since the 16th century.
In more recent times an excavation of a robbed burial mound in 1932 produced a spectacular bronze wine flagon.
This was previously on display in Salzburg Museum, but is now at the Keltenmuseum.
In the 1960s Ernst Penninger started his excavations at the Moserstein, producing a series of very rich burials of the final phase of the Hallstatt period and the earlier La Tène period.
This has been followed by excavations at Lettenbühel, Kranzbichl and Simonsbauerfeld.
