Prehistoric Burial Mounds Discovered at Intel’s Planned Chip Fab Site in Germany
Archaeologists working at the site of Intel’s planned chip fabs in Germany have unearthed two 6,000-year-old burial mounds containing human and animal remains. Despite potential concerns about delays, the LDA press release indicates that research and excavations are on track to be completed by April, with no mention of project disruptions. The discoveries, including large wooden burial chambers and evidence of a ‘chariot grave,’ shed light on the Baalberg people’s culture from 4100 to 3600 BC. Intel Fab 29 in Germany is set to open in Q4 2027.
