Remains of an ancient Greek structure found in Croatia

Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a 3,500-year-old settlement in the heart of the Dalmatian village of Stobreč in Croatia.

A team of archaeologists began excavating an empty lot in Stobreč ahead of future construction projects, Croatia’s Ministry of Culture and Media said. Dr. Ugarković revealed that, during the research she led, the remains of other structures within the ancient settlement of Epetion, dating from various periods, were explored for the first time. Marina Ugarković emphasized that, due to the stratified nature of the site, material evidence was found for the first time indicating the settlement existed much earlier than previously believed, with the earliest finds dating back to the Middle Bronze Age, or roughly 3,500 years B.C.
