Huge tomb of Celtic prince unearthed in Lavau. A team from the National Archaeological Research Institute, Inrap has been excavating the site since October 2014. The 'exceptional' grave, crammed with Greek and possibly Etruscan artefacts, was discovered in a business zone.
The prince is buried with his chariot at the centre of a huge mound, 130 feet (40 metres) across, which has been dated to the 5th Century BC.
