Solnitsata
Believed by archaeologists to be the oldest town in Europe, Solnitsata was a fortified stone settlement - citadelle, inner and outer city with pottery production site and the site of a salt production facility approximately six millennia ago; it flourished ca 4700–4200 BC.
The settlement was walled to protect the salt, a crucial commodity in antiquity.
Archaeologists discovered previously unknown fortified settlements in Mazury
Unknown fortified settlements from the third century BC have been discovered by archaeologists in Stary Folwark, Tątławki and Wieprz. Their discovery was possible with the use of airborne laser scanning (ALS) of forested areas, previously difficult to access for archaeologists.
The findings have been reported by the study leader, Prof. Zbigniew Kobyliński from the Institute of Archaeology, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw.
By analyzing the digital terrain model obtained using LiDAR device, archaeologists discovered three previously unknown fortified settlements from the early Iron Age. Read more.
