Great
galloping Galician ponies!! Archaeologists in
northern Greece have uncovered traces of two prehistoric
farming settlements dating back as early as 6,000
B.C., Associated
Press reports this afternoon.
The first
site, located on a plot earmarked for coal mining
by Greece's Public Power Corporation, yielded
five human burials, as well as artifacts including
clay figurines of humans and animals, sealstones,
pottery and stone tools, writes AP.
"(The
discovery) will help us solve problems regarding
prehistoric social structures ... as the area
saw a gradual introduction of farming techniques
over at least five millennia," the Greek Culture
Ministry said on Monday.
