Неолитно селище край село Оходен, Neolithic settlement and archaeological site in Ohoden, Bulgaria
The archaeological complex contains remains of dwellings, fertility temple foundations, and a necropolis spread across the Valoga locality near Vratsa.
The settlement dates back to the 6th millennium BCE, with archaeological excavations beginning in 2002 under the direction of the Vratsa Regional History Museum.
The central sanctuary features a P-shaped stone pavement oriented towards the sunrise, decorated with large trophy deer antlers and ritual elements.
The excavation site reveals multiple column holes up to 0.45 meters in diameter, indicating substantial structural engineering in the prehistoric period.
Researchers discovered obsidian artifacts originating from deposits in Hungary and Armenia, demonstrating early trade connections across vast distances.
