That is the link you posted.

So the ancient punishment with being sent to the salt mines: were salt mines that common or was it from this area?
I don’t know the area; I’m NA based, but salt deposits near the surface are pretty rare. Our deepest mines are salt mines.
According to the article it wouldn’t have been much of a punishment.
“Thousands of bodies have been excavated, almost all flaunting rich bronze ornaments, typically worn by only the wealthiest,” Reschreiter said. “The remains bore the marks of hard physical labour from childhood, while also showing signs of unequalled prosperity.”
