Further to the Lapenski Vir discoveries, another ancient site with a claim to being Europe's oldest town or city is Provadiya – Solnitsata ("The Salt Pit") Settlement Mound in Northeast Bulgaria.
In the salt pit, archaeologists discovered this rather alien looking carving, dated to around 6,000 years ago.

The unusual triangular shape of the head is reminiscent of artefacts from the Vinča culture, suggesting trade and/or other social links between these ancient civilisations:
