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.
Note: Finds of an iron bridle and wooden chest containing two different sets of gold items reveal ancient Balkan civilizations as archaeologists appeal for funding for the dig to continue
