Ancient Settlement in Prague.
The excavated remains of rectangular houses from 7000 BP. This was a Danubian culture that cleared forests, practised agriculture, and traded with other cultures to the south. Occupation continued or recurred at 6500 BP, the date of a trapezoidal structure. Burials from seceding time periods (~2900 - 2500 BP) were also found at the site.

Radek Balý, director of the Czech Archaeological Society, anticipated that development of this district of Prague can allow additional opportunities to investigate the prehistory of this area.

Note: Prague district yields up evidence of 5500 BC settlement. Lone male burial found in the style of a woman. Speculation about his sexuality abounds.

Male buried as woman in the Stone Age village by bat400 on Monday, 11 March 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
Archeologists who uncovered the first homosexual caveman have discovered the prehistoric village where he was 'the only gay' man.

The skeleton was originally discovered last year with a series of clues that led experts to believe the grave belonged to a gay man.

The skeleton of the late Stone Age man, unearthed during excavations in the Czech Republic, is said to date back to between 2900 and 2500 BC.

During that period, men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with the head pointing towards the west; women on their left side with the head facing east.

In this case, the man was on his left side with his head facing west. Another clue is that men tended to be interred with weapons, hammers and flint knives as well as several portions of food and drink to accompany them to the other side.

Women would be buried with necklaces made from teeth, pets, and copper earrings, as well as domestic jugs and an egg-shaped pot placed near the feet.

The ‘gay caveman’ was buried with household jugs, and no weapons.

Archaeologists do not think it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era because of the pottery it produced.

From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake,’ said lead researcher Kamila Remisova Vesinova.

...And what looks like the original article from Praha.eu, the Portal of Prague:

Grave of so called third sex, a Man that was Buried as a Woman.
Archaeologist Kamila Remišová Věšínová: “The grave furnishings strikingly differed from either female or male graves. It is very unlikely that the community made mistake during burial especially because they paid strict attention to gender differentiation,” said archaeologist.

Archaeologists will try to crack this mysterious enigma especially as the shaman grave theory is very sketchy. “From the Mesolithic period onwards, Shaman’s graves have distinctly identifiable artefacts the like of which were absent in Terrronská Street. The explanation could well be that the grave belonged to a man with different sexual orientation– a homosexual or a transsexual,” said K. Remišová Věšínová. Further research in Terrronská Street could lead to different conclusions.

Prague district yields up evidence of 5500 BC settlement by bat400 on Monday, 11 March 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
"The dates of the earliest settlements in the area of Prague are continuously being pushed back – just about anytime someone puts a shovel to the northern district of Bubeneč. The spot in the bend of the Vltava river apparently offered an unparalleled living space, a river terrace with fresh water in plenty, defence on three sides and fertile land. The site makes headlines again and again as the ground yields up fascinating finds from the mysterious peoples who inhabited Central Europe before the Europeans. ... Now though comes the first hard evidence of a settlement as old as agriculture on the Nile, from around 5500 BC. Radek Balý is the director of the Czech Archaeological Society and heads the team that made the find."

“We found two longhouses from the Neolithic. One of the big houses was rectangular in shape and was about 7,000 years old. The other was trapezoidal and was about 6,500 years old. The only remnants of the buildings that we found were the holes and grooves left by wooden structures, so we know the circumference and have a few relics of the way the houses were divided.”
