A remarkable discovery has emerged from the heart of Central Europe, where Czech archaeologists have uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved Neolithic settlement near the town of Kutná Hora. This site, believed to be around 7,000 years old, offers a rare and invaluable glimpse into the lives of some of the first agricultural communities in the region. The settlement, named Dobřeň after a nearby village, has astonished researchers with the preservation of four longhouse floor plans, among other findings. A Surprising Discovery in the Heart of Bohemia According to an interview with Daniel Pilar from the Czech Academy of Sciences’ Department of Prehistorical Archaeology, by Radio Prague International, the site was discovered earlier this year during routine rescue excavations, a common practice in areas undergoing construction to ensure that any historical artifacts or structures are preserved. Daniel Pilař, part of the team that stumbled upon the site stated: “This site was discovered early this spring as part of rescue excavations. We usually supervise construction work in our district and one day, in the middle of construction, we were surprised to find relics of a settlement that is not typical for this region. When we saw the house plans, we immediately knew we were dealing with a Neolithic settlement.” Read moreSection: ArtifactsOther ArtifactsNewsHistory & ArchaeologyAncient PlacesEuropeRead Later
