Short Description
The site was used by people during the Mesolithic Era (7000-6000 BC) and again in the Late Neolithic (3800- 3600 BC). The most significant aspects of the settlement arethe houses dating to the Bronze Age. The dwellings, built just above the waterline, stood on decks that were supported by conifer piles (1800-1500 BC) and later either on the ground, or above the water (1500-1350 BC). The archaeobotanical and archaeozoological analyses have allowed us to reconstruct many aspects of the daily life at the time. Some of there covered artefacts are exhibited in the local museum. The general area of the site can be visited. The Archaeo Park will be inaugurated on 26th June 2021.
