Archaeologists working in the Sandomierz-Mokoszyn area of Poland have exposed an extraordinary find: the first longhouse from the early Neolithic period ever found in the Sandomierz Upland. This house, dating back to somewhere between 5300 and 4900 BC (roughly 6,000 years old), was uncovered during rescue excavations launched as part of a project to build a new housing complex.
