DETVA, SLOVAKIA—The Slovak Spectator reports that traces of a 3,000-year-old dwelling and vessels for food preparation have been found in central Slovakia. The building, which measured 28 feet long by 16 feet wide, is the first from the Bronze Age to be identified in the area. Archaeologists think the Bronze Age residents may have produced food for the fortified settlement of Kalamárka, located about three miles away.
