The Celts of the La Tène civilization, who were prosperous in the late Iron Age around 450 BC, lived in the settlement until 1000 AD. The Celtic peoples first inhabited the area that is now Bavaria, but the Romans eventually overcame them and integrated it into their empire.
During an archaeological investigation as part of the development of a new residential area, an above-average number of house plans from former settlements were discovered. These post holes, now visible as circles in the gravel, are the last remains of individual mine houses. They provide impressive evidence that around 500 people lived in today’s Feldmoching district as early as the Iron Age – an enormous number for that time...
A massive structure measuring 65 by 65 feet stood in the center of the community and was surrounded by wooden arcades that resembled columns...
The houses were of different sizes and different floor plans can be seen. Traces of historical clay, which is still used as filling material in building houses, suggest that their residents lived in half-timbered wooden houses. The settlement lasted for a long time. The archaeologists uncovered two groups of graves from the late Iron Age (450 to 15 BC) and the Roman Empire (3rd/4th century AD).

The most common reason for an early village to disappear is due to budding socialists who rode in one day, conducting a raid, to pillage, rape, and burn.
That's why we have guns now.
“The most common reason for an early village to disappear is due to budding socialists who rode in one day, conducting a raid, to pillage, rape, and burn.”
Right ... When you read the ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’, it describes how conquerors subdued an area, stole everything worth having and then enslaved the people who were young and healthy enough to be of value. It was done throughout history, but the people who ramped it up to the level of an industry were the Romans.
Slaves became currency and whole populations were transported hundreds or thousands of miles from their homeland. They were sold to the highest bidder and never returned to their homes.
It’s easy to see how whole groups would ‘seem’ to disappear from a place. But in fact, they were scattered all over the empire and continued their lives elsewhere
BTW- Gibbon says that slaves actually became currency because there was not enough gold or silver available for the valuation of commodities.
