TWO STOREY HOUSE BUILD IN SERBIA 6.000 YEARS AGO! Incredible archaeological discovery!

Elementary school in Drenovac near Paracin will be the base for archaeological research, for explorers and students who have been digging the remains of the neolithic settlement near the highway. They go at 6 AM every morning to the sight on the right side of the corridor 10 from Paracin towards Belgrade and work under the constructed balloon on defining two neolithic houses, revealing the floors and the walls.

On this place around 6.000 years ago, or 4 millennia B.C. there was an urban neolithic town in which there were around 3.000 souls. With geomagnetic recordings under ground, 600 object were found, of which at least half could be houses.

Branislav Stojanovic, the director of the homeland Museum in Paracin, who performed this recording, explained that the record "identified around 300 anomalies that remind of residential objects, and the records were taken of more than 50% of the area.

- The locality is over 60 hectares big and is cut by highway which takes around 15 to 20 hectares, which will probably remain as it is. It includes the old areas of the villages Drenovac, Sikirica, Krezbinac. It is one of the biggest Neolithic findings in Serbia, although the there is a question if all of the recorded objects are from the same or different periods. With the probe that we dug with at the beginning, the cultural layer was over 7 meters deep and we found three fazes of settling - said archaeologist from Paracin and the director Branislav Stojanovic and adds: 

- Findings so far point out that people lived in organized and big settlements in neolithic period, even though they show second storey houses. That is the period when people of the similar intellectual capacities as today started working agriculture and domesticating animals. They made houses, so called cakmaras, that people can see even today in villages.

The initiator of the these researches, professor Slavisa Peric from the Archaeological Institute in Belgrade, marks that the works on the site were continued this summer and four more object were discovered, and currently they are working on two of them. It turned out that 4 houses had more floors. Object were quite close one to another and there was no room for crofts.

- In the same time we opened another probe 250 meters east from the balloon construction, on the spot where anomaly like a trench steep was found with geomagnetic recording. It turned out that it was really a trench which was around 6 meters wide and 2 meters at the bottom - tells us the story the professor Peric and continues:

- There is material in the trench from the young neolithic period, but in comparison with the trench from the probe 16, there are very little mobile findings here, which tells us it was probably filled with water. For what function we are about to find out when we reveal it entirely and what it was actually around.

Standard crew is working on the sight that has been here for over 10 years, and some of the students reached their doctorate degrees here. One of them is Djurdja Obradovic, now research associate on Archaeological institute.

- I have been working here since 2004 and we made a lot of progress. First we dug only five probes of 5x5 meters that were too focused on researching the chronology of the ground. Now we are doing a wide dig site and for the first time we see the remains of the entire houses, the size, rooms, interior organisation. First house in the row of four houses is preserved the best and we plan to restore it to make it a presentation of neolithic culture in the open. The last two houses we just started excavating - explains Djurdja.

The researches will be near Drenovac till the start of August, and there are plans to publish the findings of everything found so far, during the summer.
