Archaeologists have found five pairs of iron shackles at a 2,300-year-old Celtic site in France — a discovery that suggests the small settlement was frequented by metalsmiths and slave traders.
The "extremely rare" shackles were discovered in the town of Allonnes in France's Loire Valley in 2019, but the finds from the two-year-long excavation were announced to the public on July 9 in a translated statement from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP).
