Sensational find in Thuringia: 10,000-year-old settlement discovered!
A remarkable archaeological find has occurred in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia, which could not only reopen the picture of the Neolithic Age, but also accompany the ongoing construction work for an important electricity route. The town of Walpernhain becomes the center of historical discoveries that give us deep insights into life over 6,000 years ago. thueringen24.de reports that ...
As part of preliminary investigations for the SuedOstLink (SOL) direct current route, archaeologists from the Thuringian State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology (TLDA) unearthed impressive remains. Concrete remains of six to seven houses of the so-called Stitchband Ceramic Culture (4,900 to 4,500 BC) were uncovered. The finds include more than 10,000 artifacts, including flint artifacts, specialized stone tools for woodworking, and decorated ceramics. This discovery could significantly expand our understanding of the technologies and lifestyles of the time. n-tv.de reports that ...
A deep look into the past
The archaeological investigations have revealed a wealth of information about the lifestyle of the Neolithic population. The stone processing workshops found enable a detailed reconstruction of the processing technologies that people used back then. The house-accompanying pits are particularly interesting, as they contain numerous finds and information about the everyday activities of this community. archaeologie42.de shows that ...
Of the estimated 10,000 artifacts, the flint artifacts and drill cores provide exceptional insights into the techniques of the time. The buildings, which have reached a considerable size of up to 17 x 9 meters, are part of a widespread settlement that could make an important contribution to research into early human history. A total of nineteen slit pits were recorded, although their function is still being debated - but they testify to the diversity of the kegiatan that once took place here.
Outlook for the future
The TLDA is expected to continue to support the ongoing work on the power line until 2027. Thanks to the cooperation between archaeologists and the builders, it is ensured that the valuable finds are carefully documented and that no construction progress is jeopardized. With the careful excavation in the Walpernhain area, we will not only expand our knowledge of history, but perhaps also reveal one or two secrets from the past.
The recent discovery in Walpernhain shows once again how important it is to plan construction projects in accordance with the historical values of our region. This cooperation could also serve as a model for other projects - because even in times of modern challenges, looking into the past remains essential.
