Archaeologists uncovered a 3,000-year-old village in Dašice, revealing ancient dwellings, pottery, and wooden structures from the Bronze Age.
Traces of the village were found during an investigation ahead of a construction project. According to archaeologist Tomáš Zavoral of the East Bohemian Museum in Pardubice, the settlement was semicircular in shape and had a small square and a well lined with wood.
Excavation of one of the dwellings revealed its possible entrance, columns, and a wall. Zavoral suggests that the structure had been made with coal and plant materials covered with clay and a masonry roof.
Pottery, bones, and soil samples were collected from the site for dating and further analysis. Head of research Kateřina Formánková explained that all findings are being thoroughly documented through drawings and photographs.
