Neolithic Treasures Unearthed in Kosovo
Archaeological excavations are underway in the village of Vrellë in the Istog Municipality at one of the most important prehistoric sites in Kosovo - the Neolithic settlement of Lluga, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.
The excavations are being carried out by the Archaeological Institute of Kosovo in collaboration with the University of Michigan from the USA, and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
This international collaboration is bringing to light evidence of organized life that developed in this area about 7 years ago.
According to the acting Minister of Culture, Hajrulla Çeku, Lluga represents one of the earliest settlements in the territory of Kosovo, with houses built of clay and wood, indicating a community developed in the Neolithic era.
The special feature of this site is the discovery of a workshop for flint tools, as well as figurines of goddesses, well-known artifacts that testify to the spiritual, artistic and social development of that time.
Ministers Çeku emphasized that this excavation project is more than a scientific expedition – it is an effort to illuminate the roots of civilization in Kosovo and to strengthen the connection of today's generations with the millennial heritage.
