A sprawling monument spanning centuries or even millennia has been unearthed in eastern France, in what archaeologists are hailing as an “unprecedented” discovery. A team from the country’s National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap) were excavating an area of Marliens, about 20km east of Dijon, when they found the remnants of settlements spanning from the Neolithic Age (between 10000BC and 2200BC) and the Iron Age (1200BC to 550BC). The oldest occupation – meaning a layer of remains left by a single culture – was the most intriguing to the experts. #history #archaeologynews #artifacts
