REINHEIM

small village near Saarbrcken in Saarland Land (state), southwestern Germany. It is famous for an unusually rich Celtic grave found there in 1954. The grave, which may have belonged to local princesses, is one of the most notable of the Early La Tne burials (see La Tne). Within the wooden funerary chamber were found many bronze and gold objects, including bracelets, rings, neck torques, and a variety of other accessories such as flagons and masks. The grave and its contents, which probably date from the early 4th century BC, indicate that Celtic women were able to attain positions of wealth and honour.
