Archaeologists have unearthed the remains of an "extraordinary" prehistoric house that dates back to around 8,000 years ago.
The rectangular dwelling was discovered by researchers with the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) in Svinjarička Čuka, Serbia, which is located in the Balkans region of southeastern Europe...
The building—described as an "extraordinary" find by the ÖAW—was constructed around 8,000 years ago from wattle and daub in combination with wooden posts. Its remarkable preservation can be explained by the fact that it was struck by a fire...
The dwelling contains evidence that its inhabitants were storing food, such as grain and seeds, providing fascinating glimpses into the lives of these early agricultural pioneers of the Neolithic period.
The Neolithic period in the Balkans began around 6500 B.C. (around 8,500 years ago) and lasted until approximately 3500 B.C. (around 5,500 years ago), although the exact dates vary depending on the specific region. This period marked the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture and permanent settlements, with some of the earliest farming communities in Europe emerging in this region...
Excavations have been taking place at Svinjarička Čuka since 2018 and in that time, archaeologists have documented several phases of settlement from the early to middle Neolithic period.
These finds have been attributed to the Starčevo culture, which is one of the earliest Neolithic cultures in Serbia and the wider Balkans. The Starčevo culture is known for introducing agriculture and the domestication of animals to the region, alongside the establishment of small, semi-permanent villages.

Did it have a nice lawn?

“ Its remarkable preservation can be explained by the fact that it was struck by a fire...”
So it was preserved because it was destroyed.
Handyman’s special, this one will go fast.
I just happen to have the original deed to that property. It has been passed down in the family for eons.
There is far more on the coastal shelves currently under the ocean.
“ Its remarkable preservation can be explained by the fact that it was struck by a fire...”
Back then, people lit their Christmas trees with candles. ‘Nuff said...
The fire carbonized the wood making the remains far more resistant to rot.
Lol! You win!
Wait until the owner gets the bill for back property taxes.
Yeah, that would be hard to explain...
It was renting for 20 Euros a month but millions of illegals have raised it to 20,000 a month.
When people see something like the ‘Dendera Light’ they jump to conclusions simply because it looks like something we recognize.
I always wonder if really ancient people may have had ‘technologies’ that we wouldn’t recognize at all...things that don’t resemble anything we know.
“It’s been passed down in the family for eons…”

“Yeah…well the property taxes haven’t been paid in five generations. We have been looking for you.”
