The University of Bern and the Institute of Archaeology have confirmed Lini in Pogradec as the oldest stilt-dwelling settlement in Europe.
It has also been confirmed that the antiquity of this settlement dates back to the time period 6,000 – 4,000 BC.
Announcement:
The University of Bern and the Institute of Archaeology confirm Lin as the oldest stilt-dwelling settlement in Europe.
Revealed for the first time:
• Opening of underground trenches
• many other wooden poles of houses
• Archaeological ceramic layers decorated with impressions – one of the earliest forms of pottery. This proves the connection of the Lin site with the Adriatic coast.
• a new fence is unveiled, bringing the number of rings surrounding the site to five
• large piles of pine trees are discovered which are thought to be the remains of one or more houses
• for the first time, the tree ring chronologies of the Lin site and Ohrid site match – dendrochronology is working for wider distances
• Confirmation that Lin 3 covers 2,000 years of settlement history and at least 10-12 different phases or villages across the time span of 6,000 – 4,000 BC. (A2 Televizion)
