One of the oldest Neolithic dwellings in France, attributed to the early Cardial period, is currently being excavated. This is the second known site from this period in France.

On the glitzy French Riviera, French archaeologists have made an unparalleled discovery: one of the first and best-preserved Neolithic villages in European history.Currently under excavation, this early Neolithic settlement once stood on the shores of modern-day Cavalaire-sur-Mer, France. Its significance extends well beyond its picturesque surroundings.As a site from the Cardial period, Cavalaire represents the arrival of the Neolithic era in the country.

Named after the ceramics, the first farmers decorated their earthenware with the saw-like edges of heart-shaped shells from the genus Cardium, as reported by LBV.The structure suffered considerable damage over the past 7,000 years. However, archaeologists identified two parallel stone walls and a small, albeit eroded, apse. As the builders reinforced the walls with a mixture of raw earth and gravel, that layer appeared denser and greyer than the surrounding soil.
