Archeologists Found an Ancient Refrigerator on the Danube
- Piotr Dyczek
“At the lead water pipe, a container made of ceramic plates was placed in the ground – so that the pipe ran along its longer side," Professor Dyczek said.
"This is an antique refrigerator, another one that we discovered, but this time with additional cooling. Inside, there were fragments of vessels for drinking wine, bowls, and animal bones. This will allow us to recreate the last meal,” Professor Dyczek added.
The exploration of a ceramic furnace from the 4th century brought another discovery in the form of a set of unique vessels, including a wine-drinking set.
Rare vessels with a black surface are decorated with a smooth and comb motif. Prof. Dyczek emphasizes that the set can be precisely dated, which is intended to end the experts’ discussion on the chronology and origins of these rare vessels on the Danube.
Among the discovered artifacts there is also a small pendant with a representation of a silver, carefully made mouse, refined down to the smallest detail, and over two hundred other souvenirs from the past.
