The remains of a 7,000-year-old settlement have been unearthed in southwest Budapest's 22nd district by archaeologists of the Budapest History Museum. During the excavations the experts have discovered the foundations of six buildings which originally had clay walls supported by wooden beams. Next to the houses, the archaeologists have found remains of baking ovens, storage pits and waste holes in the ground, yielding a rich collection of broken clay vessels and stone tools from the Linear Pottery Culture, Gabor Szilas, leader of the excavations said.
