The discovery of the finds, which have now been ennobled as places of particular importance for the global community, was a thrilling crime story, the result of meticulous searches and miraculous strokes of luck – one would actually only be too happy to hear a sequel. And Maria Stürzebecher already knows where she wants to continue looking.
