Greek Stone Age household remains found intact: ministry
ATHENS (AFP) – Archaeologists in northern Greece have found the remains of a Stone Age homestead left intact for about 6,000 years, the culture ministry said on Thursday.
"This is a rare case where the antiquities remained undisturbed by farming or other activities for around 6,000 years," the ministry said in a statement.
The dwelling had been destroyed in a fire but its residents had time to flee taking most of their valuable stone tools with them, the ministry said.
Instead, archaeologists found a large number of clay vessels, millstones, some stone tools and two home furnaces.
The rectangular 58-square-metre structure was built in the fourth millennium BC. It stood on stilts, and its outer wooden frame was filled with a mixture of branches and reeds covered in clay, while straw mats lay on the floor.
The homestead had indoor areas dedicated to the preparation of cereals and the storage of farm produce.
It was discovered near the town of Aridaia in central Macedonia prefecture between March and July during works to upgrade the local water mains network.

Грциве пак најдоа археолошки локалитет во Македонија од камено време стар 6000 години. Сега ќе му еб*т мамата на артефактите.
