The object's copper-zinc-tin-lead alloy matches similar finds in Poland, suggesting extensive trade networks across the Baltic region. This discovery highlights the value of scientific collaboration in reshaping understandings of ancient history.

Using drones, LiDAR sensors, and historical images, researchers identified ditches, paths, and activity areas beyond known walls. These findings, published in Archaeological Prospection, challenge the notion that they were mere fortified villages.
