There is evidence of growing of wheat, barley and flax, as well as rye (the last one being the oldest attested anywhere in Europe). Found was also a fragment of a ceramic female figurine interpreted as a symbol of fertility (see paleolithic Venus). There are also traces of fortification in a form of V-shaped trenches.^[2]
