Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in Marliens, France. The site contains an array of historical artifacts and structures, including a horseshoe-shaped monument, various weapons and ornaments, and two necropolises.
One of the most significant finds at the site is the large bowtie-shaped structure with a circular construction in the middle, measuring 36 feet in diameter. This central circlet is connected to a horseshoe-shaped structure on one side and a jug-handle-shaped feature on the other side. The unique design of this structure has no known equivalents elsewhere in history.
Researchers also discovered a bundle containing artifacts such as flint arrowheads, armbands worn by archers, a flint lighter, and a copper-alloy dagger. These artifacts suggest that the site was occupied during various historical periods, with objects dating back to the Neolithic period and the emergence of the Bell Beaker culture around 4,500 years ago.
Further excavations revealed more intriguing features such as wells with clay lining from the Bronze Age and a necropolis with circular enclosures containing burial remains and a funeral pyre dating back to 1500-1300 B.C. Additionally, a second Iron Age necropolis was found containing urns with cremated remains and a collection of bracelets and rings.
The team is currently conducting radiocarbon dating on these artifacts to determine their exact ages further research will be conducted on this fascinating discovery that promises to shed new light on our understanding of human history in this region.
This discovery marks an unprecedented find for archaeologists as there are no other known sites with similar constructions anywhere else in history. It’s important to note that this site is not yet fully excavated so much more could be uncovered about it’s past.
