Sensation find in Thuringia: 10,000 -year -old settlement discovered!

In the Saale-Holzland-Kreis in Thuringia, a remarkable archaeological find has occurred, which could not only revolve the image of the Neolithic period, but also accompanies the ongoing construction work for an important electricity route. Walschenhain 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 examinations for DCRASE SUEDOSTLINK (SOL), archaeologists from the Thuringian State Office for Monument Conservation and Archeology (TLDA) have excavated impressive remains. Concrete remains of six to seven houses of the so-called stab ceramic culture (4,900 to 4,500 BC) were uncovered. The finds include more than 10,000 artifacts, including flint artifacts, special stone devices for woodworking and decorated ceramics. This discovery could significantly expand the understanding of the technologies and ways of life at that time.

a deep look into the past

The archaeological studies have brought to light a treasure of information about the lifestyle of the Neolithic population. The workplaces found for stone processing enable a detailed reconstruction of the processing technologies that people used at the time. The house -based pits, which contain numerous finds and references to the everyday activities of this community, are particularly interesting. archaeology42.de shows that…

of the estimated 10,000 artifacts offer the flint artifacts and the drilling nuclei extraordinary 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 widely branched settlement that could make an important contribution to researching early human history. A total of nineteen slit pits were recorded, with their function still being discussed - but they testify to the diversity of the Kegiatan, which once took place here.

outlook for the future

The TLDA will probably continue to accompany the ongoing work on the Stromtrasse by 2027. Thanks to the cooperation between archaeologists and the builders, it is ensured that the valuable finds are carefully documented and no construction progress is endangered. With the careful excavation in the Walpernhain area, we will not only expand our historical knowledge, but maybe also reveal one or two secrets from the past.

The latest discovery in Walpernhain once again shows how important it is to plan construction projects in harmony 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, the view of the past remains essential.
