Archaeologists from the Institute of History at the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus uncovered ancient amber pendants and two neolithic stone maces at the Bereshcha 1 site, located in the Lepel District of the Vitebsk Oblast in Belarus in an area situated within Bereshcha archaeological micro - region specifically near the Dubovets tract, renowned for yielding important artifacts that shed light on human habitation in Eastern Europe.
The artifacts could date to the 4tth - 3rd millennium BC, are linked to the Usvyaty archaeological culture of Middle Neolithic tribes, in the East European Plain, centred around the modern Pskov region of Russia and the Belarusian Lake District, a plateau of lakes in the north of the country.
Usvyaty people famously constructed elaborate, timber platforms supported by wooden piles along the Edges of lakes and rivers. Their craftmanship was highly advanced, featuring finely preserved organic artifacts like wooden paddles, elaborate amber pendants, bone tools and stone maces.
The excavation, a joint effort between the Institute of History and a local school archaeology camp, yielded two massive intact stone maces, one complete, oval in shape, and the other fragmented, circular in shape and several preserved amber pendants.
In addition to these significant finds, the team recovered fragmented ceramic pottery, flint tools, an important osteological collection (skeletal remains) and animal bones that shed light on how ancient hunter 0 fisher - gatherer societies lived in the Belarusian Poozerye region.
