In 1966, the priest Georges Kayser discovered four cremation burials of Treviri horsemen at a site known as Scheierheck, near Goeblange-Nospelt. Thirty years later, further archaeological excavations shed new light on this burial ground, a late La Tène aristocratic necropolis surrounded by a large ditch and including six additional funerary chambers.

The richest tomb among this group is funerary chamber B. Built of oak wood and covered by a tumulus, it contained the charred bones of a cremated male individual, probably placed in an organic container on the floor of the chamber. The grave goods included locally made items such as bronze fibulae, spurs, a bronze and iron cauldron, Treviri ceramic, a dolium ... and in particular two yew-wood buckets – true masterpieces of late Celtic craftsmanship – circled by embossed bronze bands, an iron sword with an ornate openwork scabbard and two bronze suspension rings.

Besides these locally made goods were bronze items imported mostly from Italy and used for serving wine (sieve, jug, basin...) and ceramic tableware produced in Gaul but imitating Italic forms.

These rich grave goods reflect the transition from Celtic to Gallo-Roman civilization; they bear witness to an advanced degree of Romanization, and suggest that the deceased had probably served as a horseman in the auxiliary troops of the Roman army.
