According to archaeologists, these 16 ancient houses were built 7,000 years ago. It is also noted that these structures belonged to the Linear Pottery culture.
Some of the houses were up to 36 meters long, which may indicate enormous labor costs long before the emergence of the first cities.

In total, specialists documented 1,879 domestic features, 65 burials, and one human burial inside a domestic pit.
