The oldest house in the world

          Researchers found an old house built during the British still a part of Europe. Circular structure is thought to originate from the stone age 8500 years BC and was near the lake.

The house is considered the oldest English house in Howick, Northumberland at least 500 years old.

Dr Chantal Conneller and Barry Taylor of the University of Manchester has been working with Dr Nicky Milner of the University of York at Star Carr since 2004. The house was first excavated by the team two years ago.

According to archaeologists, the site was inhabited by hunter-gatherers after the last ice age. They migrate from the area under the North Sea and a case of animal hunting deer, wild boar, deer and large wild cattle called auroch.

Dr Milner says, "This is a sensational discovery, and many tell us about the people of that age. From these excavations we get a clear picture of how people live.

The house was probably built back through the various stages. There may be more than one house and many people live in a place made of wood, where is the initial evidence of the type of carpentry in Europe.

Dr Conneller said, "It itui will change our ideas about the life of the first settlers who returned to England after the end of the ice age. We think they live move-beautiful and leave little trace. Now we know they built a large structure and attached to a particular place. "

Taylor added, "The ancient lake is an important archaeological landscape. For an inexperienced eye, the area looks ordinary saja.Namun, using a special technique I was able to reconstruct the landscape.

The nature of peat landscapes enables preservation of relics, including paddle boats, the tip of the arrow and the tip of red deer skull used as a mask. But it started to dry peat so we're racing against time to find luruhan archaeological findings.
