Archeology: Europe's oldest prehistoric town unearthed in Bulgaria
Archaeologists in Bulgaria say they have uncovered the oldest prehistoric town found to date in Europe.
The walled fortified settlement, near the modern town of Provadia, is thought to have been an important centre for salt production.
Its discovery in north-east Bulgaria may explain the huge gold hoard found nearby 40 years ago.
Archaeologists believe that the town was home to some 350 people and dates back to between 4700 and 4200 BC.
That is about 1,500 years before the start of ancient Greek civilisation.
The residents boiled water from a local spring and used it to create salt bricks, which were traded and used to preserve meat.
Salt was a hugely valuable commodity at the time, which experts say could help to explain the huge defensive stone walls which ringed the town.

Turkey's President Erdogan says: "Muslims Discovered America Before Christopher Columbus" - by Howard Koplowitz
Muslims discovered the Americas nearly 300 years before Christopher
Columbus and a mosque should be built in Cuba to commemorate the
occasion, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech
Saturday. Erdogan made the remarks while addressing a conference in
Istanbul of Muslim scholars from Latin America.
"Muslim sailors arrived in America from 1178. Columbus mentioned the existence of a mosque on a hill on the Cuban coast," Erdogan said, according to Agence France-Presse. He said Turkey should construct a mosque on the hill referenced by Columbus. "I would like to talk about it to my Cuban brothers. A mosque would go perfectly on the hill today,” he said.
The idea that a Muslim explorer made it to the Americas before Columbus was posited by the historian Youssef Mroueh in a 1996 article, who claimed Columbus’ diary mentioned a mosque. Erdogan referenced Mroueh’s contentious work in his speech on Saturday.
"Contacts between Latin America and Islam date back to the 12th century. Muslims discovered America in 1178, not Christopher Columbus," Erdogan said.
Turkey’s conservative leader has been known for making controversial remarks. Earlier this year he said Israel has been more brutal than late Nazi leader Adolph Hitler.
Israelis “have no conscience, no honor, no pride. They curse Hitler day and night, but they have surpassed Hitler in barbarism," he said in July.
