Archaeologists discovered a 7000-year-old pre-historic settlement near the Tamiš River in northeastern Serbia. • Archaeologists discovered a 7000-year-old pre-historic settlement near the Tamiš River in northeastern Serbia, dating back to the late Neolithic period. • The settlement, covering 11-13 hectares, was surrounded by four to six ditches and is linked to the Vinča culture, known for significant settlements in southeastern-central Europe. • This discovery is particularly notable as it represents one of the few larger Late Neolithic settlements identified in the Serbian Banat region, offering insights into the regional prehistoric cultures. • The site near Jarkovac shows influences from the Banat prehistoric culture, providing valuable information on the social structures and technologies of the time. • Led by Martin Furholt from Kiel University in Germany, ongoing research aims to further explore early human history, the spread of knowledge, and the emergence of social inequalities in Europe.
