In antiquity there was a branch of the river Aare to the east of the settlement, 20-30 m. wide. The area (locality Wydenpark) was investigated in 2007-2011 by Regula Gubler. A street running parallel to the former river was found. It was seven meters wide and had a surface of gravel. At the north end it turned towards a bridge. Some remains of the bridgehead, big posts, were identified. The west bank of the river was reinforced by a dam made of wooden posts, horizontal beams and stone. It will have been used as a mooring place for ships. With the help of dendrochronology the work has been dated to the late first and early second century.
