Archaeologists discovered in Trnava's Zeleny Kricek settlement hole many decorated ceramics fragments, antler tools and fragments of stone tools older than 6,000 years.
...The discovery is located outside the middle age centre of the town just in front of the town's fortification wall.
"Its existence until these days is a matter of lucky circumstances because it was preserved in the narrow area between the wall and filled town ditch," said Peter Grznar of the Regional Monument Board in Trnava, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
The finding dates back to the Neolithic Age, more specifically to the era of the Lengyel culture. Grznar said that the discovery contributes to the knowledge about the settlement of Trnava following the significant findings of the locality near Frantiskanska and Stefanikova Street.
So-called Trnava Venuses were also found here; they are the oldest artistic display ever found in the town's area with an estimated age of 6,700 to 6,800 years.
...the Neolithic settlement was wider than expected based on the previous findings because all surrounding lands are already built-up.

My editing of this already short article was due to being somewhat overmatched by figuring out the character set here and there.
Interesting!
The prehistoric “Venus” figurines seem really to be more of a Pachamama type deity than a Venus.
Is colored pottery unusual for 4k BC?
Patterns that had been in the clay often survive, while colors probably don't. There are billions, or perhaps trillions, of ancient / prehistoric pottery shards, and color was being used a really long time ago. Because of the durability of it, fired clay will by and large survive while fabrics and such generally won't. Fired pottery goes back at least 29K years, which is a while back. Its use as vessels can't have been long after, one would guess. :^) Prior to that, skins and gourds were used.
Great stuff good find KUTGW keep up the great work !
Thanks.
Puts a dent in that young earther thing, doesn’t it?
Oh sure, bring that up. :^D Where were you for the 7,000 year old thing in another topic? ;^)
Given the multi-billion year life span of this planet I’d be much surprised to discover that “we” are the first civilization or humans.
Seems like they had a vowel shortage when they named the things and places around there. Tourist promos should include a notation: BYOV. Bring your own vowels.
As for the hatfield/mccoy over the age of our Earth, I’ve read the Upanishad, which pre-dates any hebrew writings. I’ve seen the Willendorf goddess, which is said to be 30,000 years old. The “mud layer” that is supposed to have critters and humans in the same frame of geological time, has yet to be found, but the thin line of asteroid-debris iridium has been found. Lastly, I think Ken Ham, is nothing but an Australian “magic music man”!
With your juvenile swipe at Ken Ham (who I am aware of) is your defense of your beliefs, shows your ability to believe in every counter claim of creation science, which I do have a tendency to believe, shows be you can be swayed by people who present theory as fact and will believe, "without question" any findings that follow your belief.
So my only question to you is, what if they're wrong?
Even when I was a Pentecostal, there was more proof, and more today, of an older Earth, and an older ranging of humans, than 6000 years. The bible cannot be taken as a history book. The jewish postscripts declare Lilith as Adam’s first wife, also made from the Earth. Koala bears end up in Australia, with no migratory evidence from the supposed ark.
Well summarized!
What you said.

Sorry, dude, ya lost me at ‘old testament essays’.
Have a nice day.
Let me guess, they discovered all the missing vowels in the Slavic language?..............
Turns out, there was a big family fight many thousands of years ago, and the Slavs wound up with the consonants, and the Pacific Islanders took all the vowels.
