Neolithic site

Archeology in the village revealed that it was a site of agricultural settlement as far back as at least 7.5 thousand years ago. There is evidence of growing of wheat, barley and flax, as well as rye (the last one being the oldest attested anywhere in Europe). Found was also a fragment of a ceramic female figurine interpreted as a symbol of fertility (see paleolithic Venus). There are also traces of fortification in a form of V-shaped trenches.[2]
