Important grave finds of the Hallstatt period were discovered in Kleinklein. When walking in the woods around Goldes, one often comes across small to medium sized hilltops, which under their layer of earth contain Hallstatt period graves (barrow). The Hallstatt Museum Großklein presents finds and findings of the region from about five and a half millennia. They cover a period from the Neolithic Age to the late Middle Ages.
The Burgstallkogel is considered to be one of the most important sites of the older Iron Age. On it a hilltop settlement was discovered, which is connected with a burial ground in the Sulm valley (Sulmtalnekropole). In it there are about 700 grave sites (tumuli). Four rich princely graves were discovered on a river terrace near the village Kleinklein. They are counted to the eastern Hallstatt circle. The results of an excavation have been studied by an interdisciplinary group of researchers.
