Replica Wooden Neolithic Well Recreated in Czech Republic

PARDUBICE, CZECH REPUBLIC—Radio Prague International reports that researchers from the Všestary Prehistoric Archaeology Park are working to create a replica of a 7,000-year-old wood-lined well uncovered in 2018 during road work in the central Czech Republic. Team member Radomír Tichý said that the replica well will be constructed using only Neolithic hand tools. “We have to make all the tools ourselves,” he explained. “Getting the materials to make them is difficult because nowadays these natural materials, in the quality that we need to make the tools, are quite rare,” he said. The Neolithic original and the replica well will be put on display at the Museum of East Bohemia. For more, go to “Around the World: Czech Republic.”
