"Sensational" finds unearthed in Kazakhstan

[Caspionet]  A well-known Kazakh archaeologist Viktor Merz has made a new scientific discovery. On the shore of Lake Borly located about 100 kilometres from Pavlodar, his expedition came upon traces of an early settlement of an unknown archaeological culture. Ceramics with anthropomorphic motifs, darts, arrow tips, and other household items were among the finds serving as evidence that many thousands of years ago, the steppes of Kazakhstan were buzzing with life with an active cultural and intellectual exchange taking place. The actual discovery is a round-shaped ancient dwelling dating back to third millennium BC.
