A bowl depicting a human face with horns has been found inside a 7,000-year-old house where Poland's first farmers lived.
The discovery in Biskupice was made in the area of a large, prehistoric settlement inhabited by a community described by specialists as the Linear Pottery culture...
According to Professor Marek Nowak from the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, who us also involved in the research, this type of artefact is evidence the inhabitants of the settlement had contact with people living in the area of today's Hungary and Slovakia. This is indicated not only by the discovery of the broken bowl, but also products made of obsidian, a raw material not found in Poland. It is a volcanic glass with black and shiny surface.
Korczynska said that while vessels with similar ornamental motifs are known from that period in Slovakia and Hungary (although they usually do not have stylised horns), this is the first such object been found in Poland.
The archaeologists also found over 3,000 artefacts, including obsidian tools and so-called cores, stone blocks used to strike stone flakes and chips that were later used to make tools. These products were primarily used as leather scrapers, tools for processing wood and bones, and sickle blades...
She added that the remains of plants from sites dating back to the early Neolithic period (the time when farming began) were and are relatively rarely collected and studied by excavation leaders.

Wow....who knew that the vile, demonic Botoxian was actually that old? Demons never die?
I’m not saying I’m right but it looks more like ears. There is even a second curved line beneath the form itself.
I’m sure the experts have got it right, but I must say, I can’t see the human face on that artefact.
Fascinating, though.
Helen Thomas lives!!!!
Talk about a fixer-upper.

I bet it had running water....When it rained.
A 7,000 year old farmer, wow!
It’s either a Ferret or a high relief version of the number 2.
What’s new, Pussycat?
Are you the Missing Lynx?
I see a monkey on the left and a Sloth on the right.
I wholeheartedly agree.
All of them?
I thought you would think I was not in the right ‘archaeological’ mind here. I’m glad you said this :)
Yes!
