It’s practically impossible.
An archaeological find revealed in eastern France offers a never-seen-before mix of enclosures.The site was in use across at least three distinct time periods.Linked in part to burials, researchers hope further study reveals more about the site’s dating and purpose. As if one ancient circular enclosure wasn’t enough to evoke intrigue at an archaeological find in Eastern France, three interconnected enclosures raised the bar.
A bundle of artifacts—including seven flint arrowheads, two archer’s bracers, a flint lighter, and a copper alloy dagger—discovered in the site’s ditches correspond to cut flints, suggesting attribution to the Neolithic period, potentially as far back as 10,000 BC to 2,200 BC. Radiocarbon analytics is planned to help determine exact dating. The team located an armband with traces of iron oxide tied to pyrite, indicating it could have been used to light fires.
