Archaeologists in Prague are currently uncovering a monumental building from the Stone Age. The so-called roundel, built around 7,000 years ago, is located in the district of Vinoř on the outskirts of the city. Experts are hoping that the research will reveal more information about these mysterious ancient structures.
Roundels are large circular structures from the Neolithic period, that were constructed between 4600–4900 BC. That makes them the oldest monumental buildings in Europe, far older than the Egyptian pyramids or England’s Stonehenge.
One such roundel is currently being examined in Prague’s district of Vinoř. So far, research has shown that the structure is exceptionally well-preserved. Archaeologists were surprised to discover intact remains of the palisade troughs into which the central wooden structure was originally embedded.
Despite these findings, it is still unclear what purpose these structures have served, says Miroslav Kraus, who is in charge of the research...
To date, around 200 roundels have been found all over central Europe, with 35 of them located on the territory of the Czech Republic. The roundel in Vinoř, which measures 55 metres in diameter, has an unusual floor plan with three separate entrances...
The research of the Vinoř roundel is due to carry on until the end of September. Archaeologists have previously discovered a Neolithic settlement northeast of the roundel that had been used for 300 to 400 years.

Oh yikes.
Please let this be a translation error.
Because even I know that by 5000 BC people were using copper in Serbia.
The dates are one thing, the technology is another, IOW, stone (which is after all still in use) was supplanted by copper, on into bronze, and thereafter into iron, at different times in different places. For example, the bronze age in the Americas came along quite a long while after it was over elsewhere in the world.
That’s a nice little map!
But the "before we discovered iron we had only stone and bone tools" is really off the mark.
Copper was around and certainly being used at that time and not THAT far away.
Which is why I am hoping there was a translation error.
A few years back there was one where they used the word potato when what the person originally said was millet.

Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.
They were homes for tribal families, probably not much different from Viking Runhaus, (round houses), also found in UK and Ireland..........................................
‘Pretty much humans build structures to keep things in or to keep things out.’
Like Stonehenge, and such . . .
I will wait.
