Aşağı Pınar mound, Archaeological mound in Kırklareli Province, Turkey
Aşağı Pınar mound is an archaeological site with nine stacked settlement layers in Kırklareli Province. Excavations have uncovered remains of wooden buildings, pottery, and tools that show daily life.
The site documents human settlement from around 6400 to 4800 BC, a time when people began growing grain crops. This development spread from Anatolia to Europe and changed how people lived forever.
The settlement shows how early communities lived together and built their homes from wood. This building style was typical for people who had just begun farming instead of only hunting.
The site offers an outdoor area with models and replicas showing how people lived and worked long ago. It helps to allow time for visiting and wear comfortable shoes, since you walk around excavation areas and display spaces.
Old houses in the nearby Istranca Mountains resemble the wooden building style excavated here, showing how ancient construction methods lived on for thousands of years. This connection between ancient techniques and traditional building makes the place particularly interesting for visitors.
