Pulled pork! Archaeologists hit the PIG time after digging up Bronze Age children’s toy pigs


Aug 18, 2020

Archaeologists have found what could be Bronze Age "children's toys" from thousands of years ago, which are shaped like pigs.

The items were found in the village of Maszkowice, in southern Poland, around 68 km south-east of Kraków.

They were found at an ancient settlement from around 3,500 years ago encircled by a monumental stone wall – which captured researchers’ interests because it is the oldest of its kind in this part of Europe.

Inside one of the houses inside the settlement, the researchers found two small clay figurines that appear to represent pigs.
