I'm not sure but I think because of the high salt content (a desiccant) of the soil in the burial area of the Celts, they were preserved some what. They were BC and into burials. This area is not in the town but on salt mountain itself.

It's been awhile but I do remember a diagram of the burial plots. They did discovered remains.

But what is really amazing is the artifacts that were discovered and exhibited. I actually enjoyed the Hallstatt Museum more than the British Museum. An archaeological buff's dream.
