Pre and Early History
Inscription.
Funde aus der Mosel markieren ehemalige Flussübergänge über alte Inseln und Kiesbänke. Die Jahrtausende lang genutzten Furten zeigen die frühen prähistorischen Routen durch das Mündungsgebiet. Auf dem höher gelegenen Gelände zwischen Moselmündung, St. Kastorkirche und Altstadt konnten Gehöfte aus der keltischen Eisenzeit, dem 7. bis 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr., nachgewiesen werden.
