South Korean archaeologists say they’ve unearthed East Asia’s oldest farming site
South Korea’s archaeological agency says it has unearthed evidence of East Asia’s oldest known farming site.
Archaeologist Cho Mi-soon said Wednesday that the agency has found the remains of a farming field from the Neolithic period on South Korea’s east coast. The site may be up to 5,600 years old. That’s more than 2,000 years older than what is now the second-oldest known site, which also is in South Korea.
I was going to say that isn’t terribly old, and in some ways it isn’t, I suppose, but then. . . .hmmmm.
