Archaeologists have discovered evidence of formerly unknown prehistoric societies over 3,000 square miles across Central Europe. After extensive research, experts have long acknowledged that an advanced culture that flourished in Central Europe during the Early and Middle Bronze Era was rejected by 1600 BC.
A team of researchers disclosed new evidence that the same opposite might have happened. Although civilization didn’t disappear, it simply spread out in a vast and complex range of networks of smaller societies.
After a long research, a new study found evidence about a previously unknown network of communities living in Central Europe. This was at the time of the late Bronze Age. Here, researchers used satellite images from Google to find more than 100 new prehistoric sites.
The authors wrote, “We contest the idea of a diminished Late Bronze Age and argue that a fully opposite trajectory can be identified–increased scale, complexity and density in settlement systems and intensification of long-distance networks.”
Even some newly-formed corresponding settlements were less hierarchical than the initial society. However, this is still organized in multiple political units, which researchers believe. The authors reported further, “Despite these fundamental shifts in how people organized themselves in settlements and communities, features of daily life such as craft, rituals, and diet reveal resilience in macro cultural traits of the general populace.”
